FAB Gab Episode 21: Katharine Wolfe on ‘speciesism’, ablism, and the real debate about moral status

The latest episode of FAB Gab is now live! This time, Katharine Wolfe speaks about her recent paper, which seeks to rescue ‘speciesism’ from the ablism of certain interpretations of the term.

Wolfe’s paper looks back on an exchange between Peter Singer and Eva Feder Kittay about the moral status of human beings vis-a-vis animals. Wolfe suggests that establishing moral status relationally, rather than by properties or capacities, allows us to include all human beings without having to make claims about superiority of humans over any (or all) other animals.
