Abstract

The book examines the traditional conception of human exceptionalism in philosophy and social sciences, questioning the idea that humans possess unique qualities that distinguish them from other species. Based on the theory of biological evolution and the latest discoveries in other disciplines, it argues against the dualistic view that separates humans from the rest of nature, advocating for a more integrative perspective that recognizes the continuity among all forms of life. It particularly criticizes Cartesianism and proposes to understand the human being as a biological and social being, rather than separating it from nature. It emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary studies and the need to rethink the relationships between humans and other species in a more ecological and comprehensive context.

Keywords: anthropocentrism, Cartesianism, ontology, human exceptionality
