Sommario/riassunto |
|
In this volume, Bernstein identifies the qualities that make an entity deserving of moral consideration. It is often assumed that only ""normal"" human beings count. Bernstein argues for ""experientialism"", the view that having conscious experiences is necessary and sufficient for moral standing. |
