Thank you so much for this, it is extremely useful and interesting. I find Levin’s work really thought-provoking and I am particularly interested in his emphasis on ethics, which is how I encountered some of his articles in the first place. I guess you may know or be interested in this recent article of his: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnsys.2022.768201/full
It’s weird and stimulating to read how in his view we’re gonna be surrounded by diverse “beings”—whichever definition we give to this—that may be beyond this cut-out definitions predominantly adopted up to today (even in philosophy). Still, developing new ethical framework may really prove essential (Levin is well aware of many topics discussed in this forum, it appears, so he’s really a good source).
PS. this is my first comment ever here on EA Forum, but I really find this stuff exciting (I am trying to work on ethics / expansion of the circle beyond the common categories, for reasons quite close to Levin’s ones). I would be very interested in anything and anyone with some perspective regarding not only animal ethics, but further and, potentially, with a keen eye on anthropocentrism (for / against / shades of), maybe one day I’ll write something here too—so thanks again!
