Maksimov, L. V. Whom the Morals Defend
Abstract:
Review: the main content of the article is a review of such concepts in philosophical anthropology which ascribe the status of the moral object to certain creatures or material things based on their ‘inherent worth’ or ‘natural rights’. It is shown that the mentioned status does not depend on inherent worth because such the moral object is formed under the influence of a number of objective cultural and historical factors
Keywords:
philosophy, morals, bio ethics, environmental studies, anthropocentrism, bio centrism, eco centrism, inherent worth, personal goal, metaphysics, naturalism
