From eyewitness 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 questionranging from Aristotle and Kant to Hume and Darwinand 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 thingsno 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 cant do all that we can do, but they can act on the basis of some moral reasonsbasic 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.

"Can Animals Be Moral?" dives deep into the ethics of animal behavior. The arguments are compelling, and it really made me rethink how we view morality in the animal kingdom. Highly engaging for anyone curious about animal rights!

Interesting but Lacked Depth
I enjoyed some parts of "Can Animals Be Moral?", but I felt like the book skimmed over many topics without exploring them fully. The idea is captivating, but I wanted more detailed examples. Still worth a read for animal lovers.
