Who's a Good Boy?
LSE: Public lectures and events - A podcast by London School of Economics and Political Science

Contributor(s): Professor Kristin Andrews, Professor Sarah Brosnan, Dr Susana Monsó | Do non-human animals have morals? Can chimpanzees tell right from wrong? Do dolphins think about what they ought to do? And can a dog really be good? Recent scientific work can shed light on these issues, but they also take us to the heart of two great philosophical questions: what does it mean to be moral and what (if anything) makes humans unique? Meet our speakers and chair Kristin Andrews (@KristinAndrewz) is York Research Chair in Animal Minds at York University, Canada.
