Abstract

PAGE, Olof. Basic Equality and Moral Person. Anal. filos. [online]. 2015, vol.35, n.1, pp.27-41. ISSN 1851-9636.

The objective of the article is to analyze and criticize the arguments elaborated by Carlos S. Nino to justify a certain interpretation of the concept of moral person. This interpretation offers a foundation of basic moral rights that is different from the one contained in what in the article I call "the traditional strategy". The radical change of strategy that Nino proposes implies a certain conception of the equal (or unequal) status of human beings. For the reasons given in the article, I think that this change of strategy is unsuccessful.

Keywords : Basic equality; Moral Persons; Properties.
