Humanism
Kieran Setiya, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
This talk will argue for a form of humanism on which we have reason to care about human beings that we do not have to care about other animals, and human beings have rights against us other animals lack. Humanism respects the equal worth of those born with severe congenital cognitive disabilities. We can defend this view from the charge of illicit “speciesism” and explain why being human is an ethically relevant fact.
