• Resumen

  • In this article the author explores the concept of terrorism as self-help justice. He tells the story of an experiment with capuchin monkeys to illustrate the evolution of a sense of justice as a moral emotion that signals to others the price to be paid for unfair exchanges, citing the article "Crime As Social Control" by Donald Black, and discusses the moralistic motivations of the terrorist organization Islamic State (ISIS).
