Paths
Living beings and continuity
From Mary Midgley to conflicts in animal and environmental ethics: five stops across books, research and public discussion.
This route begins with the images through which we understand human nature and ends with decisions affecting other living beings. Its thread is continuity: evolutionary, ecological and connected with organisms’ experience. The stops move from an introduction to Midgley to a focused research question, then to the proposal in Continuità and the wider map offered by Filosofia analitica e cervi. The MEIC event brings these themes into public conversation. Follow the sequence or begin with the question that interests you.
