Beskrivning

This book brings together three distinct research programmes in moral psychology – Moral Foundations Theory, Cognitive Adaptations for Social Exchange, and the Linguistic Analogy in Moral Psychology – and shows that they can be combined to create a unified cognitive science of moral intuition.The book assumes evolution has furnished the human mind with two types of judgement: intuitive and deliberative. Focusing on moral intuitions (understood as moral judgments that were not arrived at via a process of conscious deliberation), the book explores the origins of these intuitions, examines how they are produced, and explains why the moral intuitions of different humans differ.Providing a unique synthesis of three separate established fields, this book presents a new research program that will further our understanding of the various different intuitive moral judgements at the heart of some of the moral tensions within human society.

Recensioner i media

"Overall, Moralistics and Psychomoralistics is a welcome addition to the field, generating new lines of inquiry for those working within moral psychology, and in particular within nativist frameworks. The contributions Wood offers to the topic are thought-provoking and provide a fresh perspective that has the potential to re-invigorate nativist theorising in moral psychology. Wood’s book offers significant contributions to the field, although it leaves room for further exploration and development. Future work in the study of moral cognition could benefit greatly from engaging with Wood’s ideas and building upon the framework proposed in this book." -Harriet Ivison, Department of Philosophy, Cardiff University, Cardiff, United Kingdom
