Download or read book On Moral Considerability written by Mark H. Bernstein and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1998-11-19 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this fresh and powerfully argued book, Mark Bernstein identifies the qualities that make an entity deserving of moral consideration. It is frequently assumed that only (normal) human beings count. Bernstein argues instead for "experientialism"--the view that having conscious experiences is necessary and sufficient for moral standing. He demonstrates that this position requires us to include many non-human animals in our moral realm, but not to the extent that many deep ecologists champion.
