Atlas of moral psychology
Guilford Press., Graham, Jesse, Gray, Kurt JamesWhen we conceived of the idea of the atlas, we asked contributors to take a stand on a number of questions that we had developed, including whether morality was intuitive or deliberative; whether morality involved one, two, or many processes; whether morality was domain general or domain specific; and whether morality was the same across cultures. These questions reflected our own theoretical leanings, and it quickly became clear that moral psychology had more—and bigger—questions than we had ever imagined.
This volume is so exciting because you can see just how big morality is and how many other fields it intersects with. Moral psychology started as a small offshoot of philosophy many years ago, but now it is a microcosm of the entire field of psychology, with debates about thinking and reasoning, new understandings of social cognition and the self, questions about animals and God, and even critical introspection.
