Abstract

The purpose of this study is not to explain the thinking of Francione, but rather to discuss what can be seen in the vicinity of his theory of animal rights, namely: the border between alterity and solipsism, taking into account the sentience as the only characteristic capable of determining the dwelling of the moral field by a subject. The methodology used was the bibliographical review in books and articles pertinent to the discussion, and it was realized that there is a need to discuss the contemporary project of society, science, and ultimately the project as a whole, with a view to non-human animals, because this seems to be (in its current configuration) a point of segregation between humans and non-humans and away from a sufficiently comprehensive theory of the polis.
