Pushing back against the potential trivialization of moral
psychology that would reduce it to emotional preferences, this book
takes an enactivist, self-organizational, and hermeneutic approach
to internal conflict between a basic exploratory drive motivating
the search for actual truth, and opposing incentives to confabulate
in the interest of conformity, authoritarianism, and cognitive
dissonance, which often can lead to harmful worldviews. The result
is a new possibility that ethical beliefs can have truth value and
are not merely a result of ephemeral altruistic or cooperative
feelings. It will interest moral and political psychologists,
philosophers, social scientists, and all who are concerned with
inner emotional conflicts driving ethical thinking beyond mere
emotivism, and toward moral realism, albeit a fallibilist one
requiring continual rethinking and self-reflection. It combines
'basic emotion' theories (such as Panksepp) with hermeneutic depth
psychology. The result is a realist approach to moral thinking
emphasizing coherence rather than foundationalist theory of
knowledge.
