A igualdade e as implicações do problema de singer
Abstract
Apresento, nesse artigo, as implicações da idéia da igualdade na obra Ética prática e Vida ética de Peter Singer, sob a perspectiva da crítica esboçada por Richard J. Arneson no artigo: O que, se algo, torna todos os humanos moralmente iguais? Singer propõe que a igualdade entre humanos e não-humanos seja fundamentada no Princípio da Igual Consideração de Interesses Semelhantes. Arneson, no artigo What, if Anything, Renders all Humans Morally Equal?, analisa as idéias de Singer e afirma encontrar um “problema”. No seu entender, Singer reintroduz o elitismo, que, justamente, se propõe rejeitar. Arneson fez uma interpretação “distorcida” de Singer, o que se procurará demonstrar no presente trabalho.Downloads
