DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  Since at least the seventee
 nth century, philosophers have distinguished membe
 rship in the species homo sapiens from moral perso
 nhood, a category which they take to be of conside
 rable ethical and practical significance. But ther
 e are other non-biological features that are of et
 hical and practical significance as well, suggesti
 ng that there is an ethical, non-biological concep
 tion of humanity that is different from the standa
 rd philosophical understanding of moral personhood
 . After reflecting on the benefits and dangers of 
 focusing attention on the idea of “the distinctive
 ly human,” the lecture explores the variety of fea
 tures and capacities that distinguish “selves like
  us” from lower animals, artificially intelligent 
 machines, and possibly imaginary divine and extra-
 terrestrial rational individuals.
