More about the book
The essay explores how Western moral discourse often marginalizes certain humans by establishing a binary distinction between 'ideal' humans and 'deficient' non-humans, particularly animals. It critiques the portrayal of non-humans as embodying egotism and primal consumption, while 'human' ideals are linked to subservience to collective goals and accumulation. This analysis highlights the implications of such binarism on moral community and the subjugation of those deemed 'non-human.'
