Anderson, James C. “Species Equality and the Foundations of Moral Theory.” Environmental Values 2, no. 4, (1993): 347–65. doi:10.3197/096327193776679837.
The paper discusses various concepts of “species equality” and “species superiority” and the assumptions concerning intrinsic value on which they depend. I investigate what philosophers from the traditional deontological (Taylor and Lombardi) and utilitarian (Singer and Attfield) perspectives have meant by their claims for species equality. I attempt to provide a framework of intrinsic values that justifies one sense in which members of a species can be said to be superior to members of another species.
