Jeff Sebo's new book The Moral Circle: Who Matters, What Matters, and Why comes out on January 28, 2025
Today, human exceptionalism is the norm. Despite occasional nods to animal welfare, we prioritize humanity, often neglecting the welfare of a vast number of beings. As a result, we use hundreds of billions of vertebrates and trillions of invertebrates every year for a variety of purposes, often unnecessarily. We also plan to use animals, AI systems, and other nonhumans at even higher levels in the future. Yet as the dominant species, humanity has a responsibility to ask: Which nonhumans matter, how much do they matter, and what do we owe them in a world reshaped by human activity and technology? In The Moral Circle, Jeff Sebo challenges us to include all potentially significant beings in our moral community, with transformative implications for our lives and societies.
Author Jeff Sebo will be joined by Oshan Jarow and Alexandra Horowitz to discuss the book. Following the talk, there will be a book signing. Books signed at P&T Knitwear events must be purchased from P&T Knitwear. General admission tickets are $5, which can be applied towards a purchase of the featured event book or any product in the café the night of the event. P&T Knitwear encourages guests to wear masks to this event.
