The Moral Circle: Who Matters, What Matters, and Why

Book • 2025
In *The Moral Circle*, philosopher Jeff Sebo challenges us to include all potentially significant beings in our moral community, with transformative implications for our lives and societies.

The book explores provocative case studies like lawsuits over captive elephants and debates over factory-farmed insects, and compels us to consider future ethical quandaries, such as sending microbes to new planets and creating virtual worlds filled with digital minds.

Sebo argues that building a positive future requires shedding human exceptionalism and radically rethinking our place in the world.
