The Moral Lives of Animals

In this thought-provoking audiobook, Dale Peterson explores the moral lives of animals, illustrating instances of cooperation, empathy, and self-sacrifice among various species, such as elephants, rats, and chimpanzees. Challenging the widely held belief that morality is unique to humans, Peterson argues that these behaviors reveal a moral continuum linking us with other creatures. By examining how animal actions resonate with humanity's ancient moral principles, he offers new insights into our own moral foundations. Peterson, known for his notable works, invites listeners to reconsider their understanding of the moral capacities of the animal kingdom.
