Una superiorità schiacciante. La comparazione tra l’uomo e gli altri animali

Abstract

This paper wants to answer the following questions: 1) Is there a criterion that allows us to objectively establish the superiority of a human being over an animal of another species?; 2) assuming that this criterion exist, is its general application valid, that is to the Human being per se over Animal per se? Or do we have to take the individuals and the contexts in which they are into account?; 3) assuming that there is an objective and general criterion able of defining us as superior, do we have the right to dominate over other animals as a consequence?
