Many philosophers believe that normative ethics is in principle independent of psychology. By contrast, the authors of these essays explore the interconnections between psychology and moral theory. They investigate the psychological constraints on realizable ethical ideals and articulate the psychological assumptions behind traditional ethics. They also examine the ways in which the basic architecture of the mind, core emotions, patterns of individual development, social psychology, and the limits on human capacities for rational deliberation affect morality.Owen Flanagan is Professor of Philosophy at Duke University. Am�lie Oksenberg Rorty is Professor of Philosophy at Mount Holyoke College.

identity,character, and morality,
By Alexandra (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Identity, Character, and Morality: Essays in Moral Psychology (Hardcover)
First of all, this book is very goodt because its different essays are all related to one of the most important subjects that concerns professors, teachers and parents : moral education. All of them are written as a discussion, not in a dogmatic way, what gives the reader a good opportunity to have a critical thinking about them. The essays deal with important known theories, such as Kant's, raising many relevant questions to our life context. Researchers will find in the different essays substantial theoretical foundations.
