The papers collected in this volume examine moral enhancement: the
idea that we should morally improve people through the manipulation
of their biological constitution. Whether moral enhancement is
possible or even desirable is highly controversial. Proponents
argue that it is necessary if we are to address various social ills
and avert catastrophic climate change. Detractors have raised a
variety of concerns, some of a practical nature and others of
principle. Perhaps most fundamentally, however, the proposal forces
us to ask anew what being moral actually means, in order for the
idea of moral enhancement to make sense at all. The present
collection both addresses these issues and moves the debate beyond
its current parameters, bringing together authors with a wide range
of perspectives and areas of expertise. Chapters variously draw on
experimental psychology, social philosophy, pragmatism, Kantian and
Aristotelian moral philosophy, and the ethics of care, sex, and
psychedelics.
