We use them, not exploit or abuse, but as a means. Our treatment is based on this qualitative difference. Others are viewed indifferently, almost in a fatalistic sense. This world view by its very nature cannot be the stimulus for social good because good does not exist. It talks about man in lofty language.
Man is the measure of all things.
We think not. If a man is essentially no different from a pig or an ox, except that he has more brain cells, and if a computer is more powerful mentally than man, man is neither unique nor significant. There is no valid basis for treating all men equal. Conclusion Humanism which has been vying for cultural consensus in our society does not have an adequate base for humane treatment of all men. In the end, humanism must borrow moral values from Christianity.
