In recent research, dual-process theories of cognition have been
the primary model for explaining moral judgment and reasoning.
These theories understand moral thinking in terms of two separate
domains: one deliberate and analytic, the other quick and
instinctive. This book presents a new theory of the philosophy and
cognitive science of moral judgment. Hanno Sauer develops and
defends an account of "triple-process" moral psychology, arguing
that moral thinking and reasoning are only insufficiently
understood when described in terms of a quick but intuitive and a
slow but rational type of cognition. This approach severely
underestimates the importance and impact of dispositions to
initiate and engage in critical thinking - the cognitive resource
in charge of counteracting my-side bias, closed-mindedness,
dogmatism, and breakdowns of self-control. Moral cognition is
based, not on emotion and reason, but on an integrated network of
intuitive, algorithmic and reflective thinking. Moral Thinking,
Fast and Slow will be of great interest to philosophers and
students of ethics, philosophy of psychology and cognitive science.
