About this document
Moral Status of Non-Human Life by George Aryan Dela Vega is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses different perspectives on the moral status of the natural world and environment. It presents four views: anthropocentrism, which argues only humans have moral standing; sentientism, which extends it to sentient creatures; biocentrism, which extends it to all living things; and ecocentrism, which extends it to ecosystems. The document also examines arguments for anthropocentrism and biocentrism in debates about whether and how the environment should be considered in ethics.
