布拉德肖(G.A. Bradshaw)的《灭绝边缘的大象》(Elephants on the Edge)是一本研究人象共处极有价值的书，此书的基本假设是“不是大象有多么像我们。”

G.A. Bradshaw's elephants on the Edge is a remarkable study of elephant-human interactions, whose opening premise is that "it is not so much that elephants are like us."

经验主义在肯定和高扬人的“利己心”的同时，运用假设的方式将道德价值实现引向尊重社会道德规则；

At the same time of affirming man′s pursuit of interest, Empiricism leads the realization of moral value to the respect of the rules of social morals by hypothesis.

最后关于这个议题的一点：某些人听到这点会假设这使得沟通艺术、个人和社会的表达不再有价值，像是画画、雕刻、音乐等等。

One final note on this issue: Some hear this and they assume that this voids the Communicative Arts and personal and social expression as far as painting, sculpture, music and the like.

So, it's something like the life of a person that, when we say, when there are people who are inclined to say, that being alive per so is valuable, presumably what they mean is being alive as a person per se is valuable.

所以这差不多就是人的生活，当说到，当人们说到，活着本身是有价值的，我们便假设它的意思是,作为人活着的本身是有价值的。
