Abstract

Lori Gruen and Robert C. Jones propose a binary typology of veganism, distinguishing two of its forms: aspirational and identity veganism. They point to one of them as preferred – aspirational veganism. It seems particularly interesting, but doubts arise as to the justification for its use, at least in the way proposed by the authors. Despite the accuracy of many of Gruen’s and Jones’ observations, the adopted terminology in the case of the second element of the typology, identity veganism, is not immune to criticism, either. This article, asking about the limits of veganism, critically analyzes the classification of vegan attitudes proposed by the authors.
