Through a synergy of studying Marxism-Leninism and Secular Buddhism, I became interested in maintaining a meaningful worldview consistent with Buddhist compassion and Marxist dialectical materialism. After reading Althusser’s arguments for anti-humanism, as well as national books by Dean Cornish and Caldwell Esselstyn, I became interested in a naturalistic philosophical approach to veganism. This had to lead me to learn about sentientism, which compliments my views in Marxism and Buddhism, as well as minimalism, science, socialism, and environmentalism practices and activism.

Suffering is suffering is suffering. Whether human or other sentient being.

Because I’m both (ethical) vegan, and (secular) humanist. 🙂

Every sentient being values their life as I do mine, and I view it as a moral imperative for us to see and respect this similarity.

Everyone should be judged not by the circumstances of their birth, but by the pattern of their mind. Anything that can experience, that can suffer, has moral weight to its existence.

I believe in non-violence (ahimsa) as a key philosophy and the shortcut to world peace. I am a sentientist because I have compassion for all beings and do not exploit or abuse animals for greed or ignorance. I can only hope that this philosophy expands and we manifest a utopian dimension of peace.

@NEO10Y

Because treat others the way you want to be treated.

I am an associate professor of Philosophy at Dalhousie University (Andrew at Dalhousie). My areas of specialization are in animal (bio)ethics, naturalized epistemology, neuroethics, and the philosophy of animal behaviour and cognition. I am interested in how deepening scientific understanding of the psychological capacities of various nonhuman animals should change philosophical discussions of their knowledge (beyond a simple reliabilism), agency (including their consent and dissent capacities) and treatment in captivity (primarily in laboratories).

All is one and all beings deserve the freedom to flourish.

If our ability to suffer doesn’t count for anything, then we could cause the greatest pain/suffering and yet not be held accountable. What decent morality maximizes suffering?

Although sceptical about the capacities of human reason – and the notion of “reason” itself – it appears evident that, alongside humans, nonhuman animals are sentient. Based on this belief, coupled with a rejection of (or ongoing attempt to reject) delusional and destructive anthropocentrism, I feel the least we can do as human beings is behave benignly and with humility toward our fellow animals (nonhuman and human) and the environments in which they and we live. The practice of veganism is indispensable in this connection.
