The Origins of Morality: In Search of the Human in Primates
6.99 €
For many years, world-renowned biologist Frans de Waal has studied the lives of chimpanzees and bonobo monkeys. In the course of his research, he revealed the clear rudiments of ethical behavior in the primate community. According to the author, morality is not a purely human trait, and its origins should be sought in animals. Empathy and other manifestations of a kind of morality are inherent in monkeys, dogs, elephants, and even reptiles. In addition to a fascinating account of ethical forms of behavior in the primate world, the author raises profound philosophical questions related to science and religion. How and when did morality arise? What influence did religion have on the formation of ethics? What happens to a society where the role of religion decreases, and is Dostoevsky's hero Ivan Karamazov right when he says: "If there is no God, I have the right to rob my neighbor"?
