| Sumario: | The ideas of Charles Darwin, Thomas Huxley and Alfred Wallace on origins and relationships between pleasure, pain and mind are analyzed, in their metaphysical implications - regarding the plausibility of Divine Benevolence - and ethical ones, regarding vivisection. It is concluded that Darwin and Huxley adhered to a Darwinian naturalistic explanatory model, and Wallace united evolution and spirituality, in a the(le)ological thesis that preserved divine intervention. The complexity of views, affiliations, and agendas is exemplified in positions on vivisection. Darwin and Huxley, who saw 'superior' animals as sentient beings, defended vivisection, and Wallace, who denied animal sensitivity, criticized the practice. Keywords: Charles Darwin - Thomas Huxley - Alfred Wallace – vivisection – animal suffering. |
