Abstract 摘要
It is possible to view the human simply as a superior kind of animal. Animals are creatures that are primarily driven by their biological instincts. It is also possible to see the human as a type of machine. Machines are things that are necessarily governed by the laws of physics. In this talk, I shall present some arguments to view humans as intrinsically different from the other beings in the universe since they are rational and responsible creatures. Human beings are spiritual creatures because the powers of reason and free will are immaterial in nature.
我們可以將人類視為一種高級動物。動物是主要由其生物本能驅動的生物。我們也可以將人類視為一種機器。機器是必然受物理定律支配的事物。在這次演講中，我將提出一些論點，將人類視為與宇宙中其他生物有着本質的不同，因為他們是理性和負責任的生物。人類是精神生物，因為理性和自由意志的力量在本質上是非物質的。
