Moral Psychology

Informationen zum Autor Peggy DesAutels is associate professor of philosophy at the University of Dayton. Margaret Urban Walker is Lincoln Professor of Ethics, Justice, and the Public Sphere at Arizona State University. Klappentext Moral psychology studies the features of cognition, judgement, perception and emotion that make human beings capable of moral action. Perspectives from feminist and race theory immensely enrich moral psychology. Writers who take these perspectives ask questions about mind, feeling, and action in contexts of social difference and unequal power and opportunity. These essays by a distinguished international cast of philosophers explore moral psychology as it connects to social life, scientific studies, and literature.
