Wide Ethics, XVII century, rationality, animals, anthropocentrismAbstract
In this article we ask how the distance between the conception of human and animal was built in Occident in the XVII century. That is a fundamental question to evaluate the contemporary arguments and discussions about animal rights, Speciesism, and wide ethics. This article explains the discussion between Descartes-More in order to show how modern conception prevails in our days.References
