    You can support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/chenphilosophy Philip Goff is a philosophy professor at Durham University, UK. Website: https://philipgoffphilosophy.com/ Book: https://www.amazon.com/Why-Purpose-Universe-Philip-Goff/dp/0198883765 Summary: In this interview, we discuss Goff's book about whether there's a purpose of the universe.

    #55 - Animal Rights | Raffael Fasel

    You can support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/chenphilosophy Raffael Fasel is Yates Glazebrook Fellow, College Assistant Professor, and Director of Studies in Law (Part IB) at Jesus College, and Affiliated Lecturer at the Cambridge Law Faculty. Website: https://www.law.cam.ac.uk/people/academic/rn-fasel/77852 Book: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/more-equal-than-others-9780198907404?cc=gb&lang=en& Summary: In this interview, we discuss animal rights, the distinction between things and persons, and the species-specific approach that Fasel proposes. Essentially, Fasel proposes the Species Membership Approach (SMA). According to the SMA, legal rights and similar entitlements should be granted to animals based on the species to which they belong, not their individual capacities. An added benefit to this approach is that it protects against the weakening of human rights for humans who are not persons.
