We are all a little bit Cerberus: towards bioethical applicability of animalism by S. Yu. Shevchenko

“…I suppose that Olson’s logic striving to cleanse the animal of everything that can be recognized as not proper part of it to some extent repeats the logic of constructing a transcendental subject. At the same time, the complexity of some bioethical problems emerges due to the impossibility of relying on the concept of a transcendental subject. …”
