This view which holds that torturing a monkey is morally equivalent to chopping wood, may seem bravely 'logical'. In fact it is simply shallow: the confused center is right to reject it. The most elementary form of moral reasoning -- the ethical equivalent of learning to crawl -- is to weigh others' interests against one's own. This in turn requires sympathy and imagination: without which there is no capacity for moral thought. To see an animal in pain is enough, for most, to engage sympathy. When that happens, it is not a mistake: it is mankind's instinct for moral reasoning in action, an instinct that should be encouraged rather than laughed at.
這種觀點認為，折磨猴子從道義上講無異于劈柴，這種看法似乎是大膽的“邏輯推理”。實際上，這種看法非常膚淺，因為其中心混亂到應該被摒棄的程度。道德推理的最初級形式，和學習爬行的理論一樣，是把自身利益和他人利益加以權衡考慮。那么，這就需要同情心和想象力。沒有這兩點，就無法用道德觀念來進行思考。看到動物受苦足以使大多數(shù)人產(chǎn)生同情感。這種反應并不是錯誤，這是人類用道德觀念進行推理的本能在起作用。這種本能應該得到鼓勵，而不應該遭到嘲笑。
