Animals, humans and Martians: the concept of persons
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Abstract
This paper examines the concept of the person as distinct from the concept of the human being. It argues that the criteria which some contemporary philosophers propose for making this distinction are likely to have adverse effects for the moral status of people with learning disability and psychiatric disorders respectively.
