Rethinking Morality: Beyond Human-Centered Ethics

This chapter delves into the philosophical debate of morality, challenging the human-centric view and advocating for a broader consideration that includes non-human animals and potentially conscious artificial intelligence. It explores the implications of redefining morality to encompass all sentient beings and critiques traditional anthropocentric beliefs in light of recent discoveries about intelligence in nature. The discussion emphasizes the interconnectedness of the environment and all forms of life, urging a reevaluation of our ethical frameworks and responsibilities.
