These nine original essays examine the moral and philosophical
implications of developments in the science of ethics, the growing
movement that seeks to use recent empirical findings to answer
long-standing ethical questions. Efforts to make moral psychology a
thoroughly empirical discipline have divided philosophers along
methodological fault lines, isolating discussions that will profit
more from intellectual exchange. This volume takes an even-handed
approach, including essays from advocates of empirical ethics as
well as those who are sceptical of some of its central claims. Some
of these essays make novel use of empirical findings to develop
philosophical research programs regarding such crucial moral
phenomena as desire, emotion, and memory. Others bring new critical
scrutiny to bear on some of the most influential proposals of the
empirical ethics movement, including the claim that evolution
undermines moral realism, the effort to recruit a dual-process
model of the mind to support consequentialism against other moral
theories, and the claim that ordinary evaluative judgments are
seldom if ever sensitive to reasons, because moral reasoning is
merely the post hoc rationalization of unthinking emotional
response.
