KNYGA Walter Sinnott Armstrong Moral Psychology

Explore the fascinating intersection of philosophy and science in Moral Psychology by Walter Sinnott-Armstrong. Published in 2007, this comprehensive volume spans 608 pages and delves into the evolving relationship between moral philosophy and cognitive psychology. For much of the twentieth century, the fields of philosophy and science remained distinct, with moral philosophers hesitant to integrate insights from biology and psychology due to the naturalistic fallacy. However, since the 1990s, a collaborative trend has emerged, allowing philosophers to leverage advancements in brain science and evolutionary psychology to enrich their understanding of morality. This book serves as a pivotal resource for anyone interested in the dynamic dialogue between ethics and psychological research, making it a must-read for students and professionals alike in the fields of psychology and moral philosophy.
