An Expansive View of Truth and a Non-Pessimistic Conception of Human Nature
This article characterizes the Enlightenment by identifying it on a formal level with an expansive view of truth and on a content-level with a non-pessimistic conception of human nature. These two traits differentiate the Enlightenment from other forms of free thought that were already present in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In particular, they differentiate it from Libertinism, in which, on the level of content, it is possible to fi…
Singer and the New Animal Liberation
The new edition of Peter Singer’s “Animal Liberation” gives the author the opportunity to take stock of the improvements in the conditions of non-human animals, particularly in the European Union, and to emphasize the importance of the dissemination of this volume for their achievement. In addition, the article returns to discuss Singer’s theoretical approach to animal ethics, highlighting its various oscillations and some critical issues. The au…
Better Descartes than Aristotle
In this short paper I want to advance a provocative thesis.The French philosopher Ren Descartes has always been considered by animal rights defenders as the greatest enemy of animals, because he even denies them the ability to feel (a conception that in recent years has been advocated by Peter Carruthers).In reality, if we compare his ethical views on animals with those of another important symbol of the denial of moral status to non-human sentie…
Pluralism and Relativism in Ethics Starting from W. K. Frankena
This article connects pluralism and relativism in ethics through the path of a classic scholar of 20th century moral philosophy: W. K. Frankena. In normative ethics Frankena defends a pluralist perspective, because in his theory of obligation there is a plurality of basic moral principles (exactly two) that may conflict with one another and there is no strict order of priority for resolving conflicts between them. His attitude towards ethical rel…
Beyond Anthropocentrism? Yes, but in What Direction
Is There a Moral Problem in Predation
Conflicting Values and Moral Pluralism in Normative Ethics
Der Artikel erörtert die Besonderheiten und Probleme des moralischen Pluralismus, eines Modells der Pflichttheorie in der normativen Ethik, nach dem (1) es viele moralische Grundprinzipien gibt; (2) diese unterschiedlichen Grundsätze widersprüchlich sein können; (3) es keine strenge Hierarchie der Bedeutung gibt, auf deren Grundlage Konflikte zwischen ihnen gelöst werden können. Der Autor zeigt, dass eine solche Theorie die Anforderung der Überei…
Vegetarianism and Veganism from a Moral Point of View
Unitarianism or Hierarchical Approach for Moral Status? A Very Subtle Difference
The article is inspired by Shelly Kagan’s recent book “How to Count Animals”, which focuses on the alternative between a unitarian and a hierarchical conception of the moral status of beings in the animal ethics debate. The paper finds a way of compromise between the two perspectives in the principle of equal consideration of interests, but above all it lessens the role of such opposition – especially its practical relevance – by emphasizing that…

The Importance of Tom Regan for Animal Ethics
Exploring Non-Anthropocentric Paradigms
Respect, Inherent Value, Subjects-of-a-Life Some. Reflections on the Key Concepts of Tom Regan’s Animal Ethics
This article reconstructs the theoretical premises of Tom Regan’s animal ethics, the American philosopher recently disappeared who has given a fundamental contribution to this area of practical ethics, by developing a theory of rights based on the extension to all subjects-of-a-life of Kantian notions such as inherent value and respect. Regan’s theory still remains the most rigorous foundation of an animal ethics alternative to the utilitarian ap…
