Sinopse

Insect Manufactures is a pioneering exploration into the fascinating world of entomology and its intersection with industry and society. Written in a rigorous yet accessible style, the book examines the myriad ways in which insects have been not only subjects of curiosity but also integral to human enterprise. It delves into historical practices, such as silk production from silkworms and the utilization of insects in agriculture and medicine, providing a rich tapestry of interdisciplinary analysis that spans biology, economics, and cultural history. The anonymous author adopts a scientific yet literary tone, carefully weaving together empirical evidence and anecdotal reflections that underscore the complex relationship between humans and these often-overlooked creatures. The anonymity of the author adds a layer of intrigue to the text, inviting speculation on the potential motivations behind the writing. The author may be a figure deeply entrenched in biological sciences or an individual inspired by the ecological crises and sustainability issues of contemporary times. This detachment allows for a broader appeal, as the voice transcends personal bias, inviting readers from various backgrounds to engage with the urgent conversations surrounding biodiversity and industrial practices. In conclusion, Insect Manufactures is highly recommended for those intrigued by the intersection of nature and industry, as well as anyone interested in the ecological implications of human actions. This book is essential for scholars and casual readers alike, providing a unique lens through which to understand both the role of insects in our world and our responsibility toward preserving them.

    Most people believe that they were either benefited or at least not harmed by being brought into existence. Thus, if they ever do reflect on whether they should bring others into existence—rather than having children without even thinking about whether they should—they presume that they do them no harm. Better Never to Have Been challenges these assumptions. David Benatar argues that coming into existence is always a serious harm. Those who never exist cannot be deprived. However, by coming into existence one does suffer quite serious harms that could not have befallen one had one not come into existence. Drawing on the relevant psychological literature, the author shows that there are a number of well-documented features of human psychology that explain why people systematically overestimate the quality of their lives and why they are thus resistant to the suggestion that they were seriously harmed by being brought into existence. The author then argues for the "anti-natal" view—that it is always wrong to have children—and he shows that combining the anti-natal view with common pro-choice views about fetal moral status yield a "pro-death" view about abortion. Although counter-intuitive for many, that implication is defended, not least by showing that it solves many conundrums of moral theory about population.
