On the Theoretical Dilemma of Peter Singer's "Person"
Singer's ethical thought is a benchmark of contemporary species equality thought,and"person"is an important concept to defend anti-speciesism thought.However,this concept has great controversy.The analysis and criticism of this concept can see that it is faced with the theoretical dilemma of contradiction with the practice of species equality theory,contradiction with Singer's own theo-retical system,and the concept construction itself is questioned.These dilemmas mean that the concept of fate is difficult to harmonious-ly exist in his thought of species equality.By rethinking the thought of the equality between the imperative and species,we can find that the construction of the concept of the imperative is not only a failure,but also unnecessary.Only by abandoning it can we better ensure the consistency of Singer's thought of the equality of species.
