摘要：I present the critique of Robert Nozick against the deadlock generated by the acceptance and defense of the principle of kantian ethics when the interests of the species endowed with rationality are to be preserved and, at the same time, the utilitarian principle applies only to what relates to these interests, enclosing any consideration for the interest in other species even when they are also endowed with intelligence and sensibility. Based upon the argumen tation by Nozick, I conclude that — within the borders of anthropocentric ethics — we should redefine the meaning of the concept of ruling over other species. The activities undertaken for ensuring control over other species can be understood as necessary for their own preservation. The human beings can show their rational and moral supremacy over the other beings in an intelligent way ensuring and not distrusting the multiplicity of the living forms which surround them.
