Показать описание
The Francis Bacon Lecture Series, on Animal Minds and Animal Ethics, took place on the 24 April in N001, de Havilland campus from 18:30-20:30. Professor Glock discussed whether at least some animals have minds comparable to those of humans, a question that has exercised philosophy and science since their inception.

The connection between the question of animal minds and ethics is two-fold: - Animal Morals: do animals have moral beliefs, attitudes, sentiments or practices? - Animal Ethics: How should we treat animals? What are our obligations towards them?

Hans-Johann Glock is Professor of Philosophy and Head of Department at the University of Zurich, as well as Visiting Professor at the University of Reading. He is the author of A Wittgenstein Dictionary (Blackwell 1996), Quine and Davidson (CUP 2003), La mente de los animals (KRK 2009) and What is Analytic Philosophy? (CUP 2008).

Unfortunately, he misses the chimp studies showing refusal to accept reward if others are receiving none, and the ability of chimps to influence their cooperation in a pulley test. Numerous studies show allocentric altruism including in dogs. I think he's just a human exceptionalist intuitively. We are exceptional. But only by degree. His lecture is not an accurate representation of the state of morality research in animals
