<p>This review presents <i>Tierethik</i> by Michaell Rosenberger, Konstantin Deininger, and Herwig Grimm as an exemplary introductory textbook that addresses the central paradox of modern animal ethics: the coexistence of moral progress with intensified animal exploitation. It highlights the book’s core claim that animal ethics challenges entrenched anthropocentrism, as well as its strong pedagogical design. Combining conceptual clarity, historical analysis, and systematic engagement with contemporary theories, the text guides readers from foundational debates to critical reflection. Its use of empirical data and case studies fosters applied ethical reasoning. The review concludes that <i>Tierethik</i> is both intellectually rigorous and didactically effective, making it a valuable resource for students and educators alike.</p>
