Moral Psychology, Volume 2: The Cognitive Science of Morality: Intuition and Diversity

Abstract

For much of the twentieth century, philosophy and science went their separate ways. In moral philosophy, fear of the so-called naturalistic fallacy kept moral philosophers from incorporating developments in biology and psychology. Since the 1990s, however, many philosophers have drawn on recent advances in cognitive psychology, brain science, and evolutionary psychology to inform their work. This volume brings together some of the most innovative work by both philosophers and psychologists in this emerging interdisciplinary field.
