Any Animal Whatever? Harmful Battery and Its Elements as Building Blocks of Moral Cognition.
This article argues that the key elements of the prima facie case of harmful battery may form critical building blocks of moral cognition in both humans and nonhuman animals.

The unifying factor in all these studies is goal-directed harmful contact, inflicted without consent or justification. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
