Morality has once again become an important focus of research in
different scientific disciplines, from biology, neuroscience and
evolutionary psychology, to social psychology, economics, and
political philosophy. One of the reasons for this renewed interest
stems from the tragedies that human beings, individually or in
groups, inflict upon the lives of one another and the world at
large, tragedies such as war, the extinction of species and
ecological destruction, climate change, and last but not least -
the financial crisis. Moral destitution and collapse, a lack of
respect for human dignity and worth, and deficits in proper moral
functioning at all levels of the world community, often discounted
or masked by transparent excuses and vacuous rationalizations, are
all viewed as principal causes of the social, societal and
ecological crises with which we are confronted today. The key to
solving these crises must lie, at least partly, in a better
understanding and active deployment of morality. Developmental
psychology is charged with the specific task of illuminating the
growth and evolution of moral functioning in human beings. This
book was originally published as a special issue of the European
Journal of Developmental Psychology.
