Resumo: | The work aims to highlight the ethics of animal experimentation in John Dewey, observing whether it is possible to propose an anti-speciesist moral deliberation. Thus, we will analyze the Deweyan way of allying an ethics focused on human progress, even if it results in behaviors that trigger the exploitation of non-human animals, gradually verifying if it is possible to propose a moral deliberation in a creative way through the human experience and that benefits the non-human animals. At first, the concept of speciesism will be exposed, as well as its derivation, anthropocentric speciesism, which will be detailed, to show how human animals incur certain arguments that make the exploitation of non-human animals viable, especially in the discussion of Deweyan pragmatism. Second, we will deepen the issue of speciesism through a pragmatic attitude, which, in addition to highlighting the moral barrier from Dewey’s classic pragmatism, will also show arguments in favor of moral deliberations that promote the well-being of non-human animals, according to with contemporary pragmatism, since this debate on animal welfare in the context of pragmatist morality is recent. Our work relies on the theoretical contribution of Dewey (2020), Fesmire (2004), Singer (2010), among others. The research indicates that by manifesting an expansive possibility of experience, through human nature, created by a network of mutual social relationships that is in constant movement, and that needs to adapt to new ethical understandings, it is possible to align both emotions and human sympathy to enable new creative social experiences that spark moral deliberations that favor diverse sentient beings. |

John Dewey and the ethics of animal experimentation: the beginning of a pragmatist debate on anti-speciesist moral deliberationJohn Dewey e a ética da experimentação animal: o início de um debate pragmatista sobre uma deliberação moral antiespecista The work aims to highlight the ethics of animal experimentation in John Dewey, observing whether it is possible to propose an anti-speciesist moral deliberation. Thus, we will analyze the Deweyan way of allying an ethics focused on human progress, even if it results in behaviors that trigger the exploitation of non-human animals, gradually verifying if it is possible to propose a moral deliberation in a creative way through the human experience and that benefits the non-human animals. At first, the concept of speciesism will be exposed, as well as its derivation, anthropocentric speciesism, which will be detailed, to show how human animals incur certain arguments that make the exploitation of non-human animals viable, especially in the discussion of Deweyan pragmatism. Second, we will deepen the issue of speciesism through a pragmatic attitude, which, in addition to highlighting the moral barrier from Dewey’s classic pragmatism, will also show arguments in favor of moral deliberations that promote the well-being of non-human animals, according to with contemporary pragmatism, since this debate on animal welfare in the context of pragmatist morality is recent. Our work relies on the theoretical contribution of Dewey (2020), Fesmire (2004), Singer (2010), among others. The research indicates that by manifesting an expansive possibility of experience, through human nature, created by a network of mutual social relationships that is in constant movement, and that needs to adapt to new ethical understandings, it is possible to align both emotions and human sympathy to enable new creative social experiences that spark moral deliberations that favor diverse sentient beings. O trabalho tem o objetivo de evidenciar a ética da experimentação animal em John Dewey, observando se é possível propor uma deliberação moral antiespecista. Assim, analisaremos o modo deweyano de aliar uma ética voltada ao progresso humano, mesmo que dela resultem condutas que desencadeiem na exploração de animais não humanos, verificando paulatinamente se é possível propor uma deliberação moral de maneira criativa por meio da experiência humana e que beneficie os animais não humanos. No primeiro momento, será exposto o conceito de especismo, tal como sua derivação, o especismo antropocêntrico, o qual será esmiuçado, para mostrar como os animais humanos incorrem em certas argumentações que viabilizem a exploração de animais não humanos, principalmente na discussão do pragmatismo deweyano. Segundo, iremos aprofundar a questão do especismo por meio de uma atitude pragmática, que, além de evidenciar o entrave moral a partir do pragmatismo clássico de Dewey, mostrará argumentações favoráveis a deliberações morais que propiciem o bem-estar dos animais não humanos, de acordo com o pragmatismo contemporâneo, já que esse debate sobre o bem-estar animal no contexto da moral pragmatista é recente. Nosso trabalho conta com o aporte teórico de Dewey (2020), Fesmire (2004) e Singer (2010), entre outros. A pesquisa indica que, ao manifestar uma possibilidade expansiva da experiência, através da natureza humana, criada por uma rede de relações sociais mútuas que está em constante movimento, e que precisa se adequar a novos entendimentos éticos, é possível alinhar tanto as emoções quanto a simpatia humana para permitir novas experiências sociais criativas que despertem deliberações morais que favorecem diversos seres sencientes.
