Can animals be moral
Rowlands, Mark.

Can animals be moral[electronic resource] /Mark Rowlands. - New York ;Oxford University Press,2013. - 1 online resource.

Includes index.

Building on the ethological evidence, this book engages in meticulous philosophical analysis and argument, and decides that animals can indeed be moral. Animals can act morally in the sense they can act for moral reasons. Or, at least, they are no compelling logical obstacles to supposing that this is the case. This conclusion has important implications not just for our understanding of animals but also of the central concepts we employ in understanding the moral lives of humans, such as motivation, action, and agency.
