  1. The Case for Animal-Inclusive Longtermism.Gary David O’Brien - forthcoming - Journal of Moral Philosophy:1-24.
    Longtermism is the view that positively influencing the long-term future is one of the key moral priorities of our time. Longtermists generally focus on humans, and neglect animals.

Estas objeciones apuntan a problemas relacionados con la representación de individuos que todavía no existen, la situación de (...)
