The height of antagonism

Salvador Araujo

Man's dominion over the Earth is not taken away. Only a natural and intelligible force can act on him, making him act through instinct, as other forms of life already do. The discourse found in this book is not based on an alleged equality between man and other animals. It cannot be understood here that it is possible to legally and rationally institute rights for an irrational being. Because even when man accepts other living beings as subjects of rights, he is being superior, because he is a being capable of deciding who has rights. But don't confuse "not having rights" with "being a slave". Slavery is antagonistic to rationality. The practice, whether against men or depersonalised entities, only externalises bestiality. The subjects are then equalised or inverted. Research is in line with the idea of a "Supreme Creator". Because to attribute freedom is to say: "You will earn your bread by the sweat of your brow!". The soliloquy leads to an abstraction: "I will give you nothing, but I will also demand nothing of you: that is your free will. Go forth, dominate the Earth and the other creatures that inhabit it, but don't lose your rationality!".
