Jeff Sebo 论证为何我们应当扩大道德圈——将不确定是否具有感知力的存在（昆虫、AI 等）也纳入道德考量。入选《纽约客》2025年度最佳书目。 Jeff Sebo argues for expanding the moral circle to include beings of uncertain sentience (insects, AI, and others). Selected for The New Yorker's 2025 best books list.
The Moral Circle (W. W. Norton, 2025) tackles one of ethics’ most fundamental questions: which beings deserve moral consideration? Sebo argues for radical expansion of the moral circle beyond the usual suspects, addressing the ethics of uncertain sentience in insects, fish, AI systems, and other entities whose inner lives remain debated. The book was recognized on The New Yorker’s 2025 year-end best books list.
