Abstract: | This paper explores the debate between personists, who argue that the concept of a person if of central importance for moral
thought, and personists, who argue that the concept of a human being is of greater moral significance. On the one hand, it
argues that normative naturalism, the most ambitious defense of the humanist position, fails to identify moral standards with
standards of human behavior and thereby fails to undermine the moral significance of personhood. At the same time, it contends
that a more focused attention on the morally relevant features of human life may indeed play a crucial role in enhancing our
moral understanding. |
