摘要
著名哲学家彼得·辛格在《动物解放》一书中系统地阐述了自己的素食主义思想。他认为素食可以减少给动物造成的痛苦,减少环境污染和消除世界饥饿,有益于人的生理健康和精神愉悦。做素食者绝非是一种象征性的姿态,素食的界限必须由每个人自己来定。辛格立论的哲学基础是"利益平等考虑"原则。辛格的素食主义观点也许有待商榷,但其积极意义不容忽视。
The well-known philosopher Peter Singer systematically formulates his views on vegetarianism in the book titled Animal Liberation. In Singer＇s viewpoint, vegetarianism could mitigate the suffering humanity brings to animals, reduce environmental pollution, eliminate global famine and be conducive to human＇s biological health and spiritual pleasure. For vegetarians, it＇s not merely a symbolic gesture to be a vegetarian, and vegetarian cooking should be defined by oneself. The philosophical base of Singer＇s vegetarianism theory is the ethical principle of ＂considering benefit equally＂. The theory remains to be further scrutinized, but its significance should never be overlooked and underestimated.
