Скачать или смотреть Jamie Woodhouse: Sentientism - Taking Humanism to the Next Level. A talk for Dorset Humanists

Sentientism is a philosophy that grants degrees of moral consideration to all sentient beings. In Jamie’s view, most humanists needlessly consume products that require the harming and killing of sentient non-human animals – implying that, in terms of their actual choices, they do not grant them a meaningful level of moral consideration. Humanism tends to consider only humans as moral agents or subjects. So, in his view, Humanism needs an upgrade. Anthropocentrism limits us and our morality whereas Sentientism takes us to the next level. At the very least, he’d like to start a debate and maintain constructive pressure on the Humanist movement to extend moral consideration to all sentient beings.

Jamie left a Managing Director role in 2017 to work on a range of projects including Sentientism and Effective Altruism.
