These discourses enable Gulliver to foster an intense hatred towards humans, or Yahoos as he calls them. At this juncture, it is interesting to note that the Houyhnhnms term the Yahoos a degenerated race, selfish, lascivious, and cunning evil nature, which Gulliver readily accepts, to much mystique. His interaction with them is limited, but he readily accepts the subverted position with negligible questions. Subsequently, he is all ready to adapt to the Houyhnhnm way of life, endued with Reason…

Introduction Philosophy has been a fundamental base for human beings to ponder on the question: “why are we here?” We had drawn numerous questions, and we had come up with countless answers to dare attempt to explain how we came to be a being, and what it means to be a being. Julian Baggini, the author of “What is it All About? Philosophy and the Meaning of Life,” analyzes these questions and different positions to come to an ultimate conclusion that combines all reasonable understandings of the…

Cigman's position is that death can only be a misfortune for human beings. In the case of non-human animals, death cannot be a misfortune at all, not even a minor one. Furthermore, this applies equally to all non-human animals. Death cannot be a misfortune for any of them, regardless of their higher cognitive capacities, as in the case of chimpanzees. Cigman (XXXX) considers the badness of death of non-human animals when discussing whether they should be granted the right to life. According…

philosopher provides the greatest argument to explain human nature and our ethical being? Without a doubt, I argue that Xunzi’s position of human nature being innately evil is the best position. This argument justifies corrupt behavior simply as inexperience and allows man to grow into virtue through teaching and guidelines. In what follows, I will provide Xunzi’s position on human nature and values. After that, I will describe Mencius’s position and present his counter-arguments to give my…

moral questioning around the relationship of humans to the natural world. This includes exploring the value and rights of the non-human world. In this assignment I explore Tom Regan’s position on the moral case of animals in regards to Val Plumwood’s account of surviving a crocodile attack. I will be using Tom Regan’s deontological stance to defend the claim that we should leave large predators unharmed, but also critiquing his position. Tom Regan’s position comes from a Kantian, deontological…

The will to power for Nietzsche is the main driving force in humans. By driving force, it is understood as that which instigates motion in human activity. This will to power is commonly associated with ambition, and achievement geared towards reaching the highest possible position in life. This driving force implies egocentricity inasmuch as the concern of every individual is said to be his own elevation to the highest position possible. It is a honing of one’s own mind and skills to its optimum…

this testing can be done on humans or on animals, but this usually leads to a debate on whether or not ethical to test on animals. This can also referred as an ethical dilemma, which occurs when someone is not able to make a decision due to moral conflicts. Furthermore, individuals question whether it is ever ethical to experiment on animals, the answer is not clear. Some people argue that animal testing is ethical and it is better than conducting experiments on humans. However, I think it is…

Authority is something we, human beings, have heard about on various topics. We know about authority pertaining to law enforcement, authority within our household, and even authority within the business. The use of authority can make and/or break the barrel of communication between the individuals involved. To begin, authority is defined as “the power to give orders or make decisions: the power or right to direct or control someone or something,” according to merriam-webster.com. When the word…

Singer has argued that non-persons (both human and non-human) are replaceable, that is, we can kill them if we bring another similar being into existence to compensate for the net loss of utility in the universe. This, known as the replaceability argument, is Singer's most controversial argument, and has been used to justify the practice of animal husbandry when the animals live lives worth living. Singer's position rests on three primary assumptions, two axiological and one metaphysical.…
