Von Händler/Antiquariat, Kloof Booksellers & Scientia Verlag [18355], Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Oxford & New York : Oxford University Press, 2012. Hardcover. Dustjacket. 272 pp. - From eye-witness accounts of elephants apparently mourning the death of family members to an experiment that showed that hungry rhesus monkeys would not take food if doing so gave another monkey an electric shock, there is much evidence of animals displaying what seem to be moral feelings. But despite such suggestive evidence, philosophers steadfastly deny that animals can act morally, and for reasons that virtually everyone has found convincing. In Can Animals be Moral?, philosopher Mark Rowlands examines the reasoning of philosophers and scientists on this question--ranging from Aristotle and Kant to Hume and Darwin--and reveals that their arguments fall far short of compelling. The basic argument against moral behavior in animals is that humans have capabilities that animals lack. We can reflect on our motivations, formulate abstract principles that allow that allow us to judge right from wrong. For an actor to be moral, he or she must be able scrutinize their motivations and actions. No animal can do these things--no animal is moral. Rowland naturally agrees that humans possess a moral consciousness that no animal can rival, but he argues that it is not necessary for an individual to have the ability to reflect on his or her motives to be moral. Animals can't do all that we can do, but they can act on the basis of some moral reasons--basic moral reasons involving concern for others. And when they do this, they are doing just what we do when we act on the basis of these reasons: They are acting morally. Condition : as new copy. ISBN 9780199842001. Keywords : , ethics.

Uit ooggetuigenverslagen van olifanten blijkbaar rouwt om de dood van familieleden om een ​​experiment waaruit bleek dat honger resusapen niet eten zou nemen als dit wel doet, gaf een andere aap een elektrische schok, is er veel bewijs van dieren met wat lijken te morele gevoelens . Maar ondanks dergelijke suggestief bewijs, filosofen steevast ontkennen dat dieren moreel kan fungeren, en om redenen die vrijwel iedereen overtuigend heeft gevonden. In Can Dieren Moral zijn ?, filosoof Mark Rowlands onderzoekt de redenering van filosofen en wetenschappers op deze vraag-variërend van Aristoteles en Kant naar Hume en Darwin-en onthult dat hun argumenten vallen ver van overtuigend. De fundamentele argument tegen moreel gedrag bij dieren is dat de mens mogelijkheden die de dieren missen. We kunnen nadenken over onze motivaties, formuleren abstracte principes die het mogelijk maken die ons in staat stellen te oordelen tussen goed en kwaad. Voor een acteur om moreel te zijn, moet hij of zij in staat zijn controle uitoefenen op hun drijfveren en acties. Geen enkel dier kan deze dingen-no doen dier is moreel. Rowland is het ermee eens dat de mens van nature bezitten een moreel bewustzijn dat geen enkel dier kan wedijveren, maar hij stelt dat het niet noodzakelijk is voor een individu om het vermogen om te reflecteren op zijn of haar motieven moreel te zijn. Dieren kunnen niet alles wat we kunnen doen, maar ze kunnen handelen op basis van een aantal morele redenen-fundamentele morele redenen met betrekking tot de zorg voor anderen. En als ze dit doen, doen ze precies wat we doen als we handelen op basis van deze redenen: Ze zijn moreel handelen.Taal: Engels;Afmetingen: 23x211x148 mm;Gewicht: 392,00 gram;Verschijningsdatum: december 2012;Druk: 1;ISBN10: 0199842000;ISBN13: 9780199842001; Engelstalig | Hardcover | 2012.
