Via Mark Rowlands, I've learned of a new digital magazine called Aeon. One of its sections is labeled "Oceanic Feeling." Intriguing.
I'm also looking forward to reading Rowland's whole book Can Animals Be Moral? His article above provides one entry point; he's also written about the subject here.
This looks very interesting. Thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteSo animals act morally? Really! If morality is the drive for self-preservation, maybe but, most would call that instinct that requires no self-reflection of thought or purpose. Anthropomorphism is fine in fairy tales but, not in the jungle or woods.
