Concept/Content motive or intent / macaque
Information caption  
Inquiry caption This is a macaque, or rhesus monkey. Who is wondering what this animal might be thinking? How does this differ from thinking about the macaque's behavior genetically? What is important when addressing morality: the outcomes alone, or also the motive or intent? (Recall the various philosophical perspectives in Table 1.) How would a scientist go about trying to study such intangible internal states of mind?
Target: Orienting to neurophysiology and psychology as a way to address motive and/or intent as dimensions of moral behavior.
