, Will Kymlicka, Professor of Philosophy and Canada Research Chair in Political Philosophy, discusses his career and work.

An excerpt: “The linchpin of human exceptionalism is political status, not moral status. But of course not all humans are included in the political circle. The various justifications given to exclude animals from the demos – for example, that they lack reason or language or moral self-regulation – have also been invoked to exclude many human groups at different times, including children, people with cognitive disabilities, women, the poor, and various racialized groups”.
