| Abstract: | The authors reflect on the arguments of Gray, Young and Waytz regarding the essence of morality. They note that the authors have showed evidence on the association of mind perception and morality and claimed that mind perception is the essence of morality but provide no specific evidence to prove their theory. They argue that the authors have introduced more uncertainty about their argument on the dyadic combination of intentionally harmful agent and suffering patient in moral judgments. |
