This volume brings together philosophical perspectives on
emotions, imagination and moral reasoning with contributions from
neuroscience, cognitive science, social psychology, personality
theory, developmental psychology, and abnormal psychology.
The book explores what we can learn about the role of emotions
and imagination in moral reasoning from psychopathic adults in the
general community, from young children, and adolescents with
callous unemotional traits, and from normal child development. It
discusses the implications for philosophical moral psychology of
recent experimental work on moral reasoning in the cognitive
sciences and neurosciences. Conversely, it shows what cognitive
scientists and neuroscientists have still to learn from
philosophical perspectives on moral reasoning, moral reflection,
and moral responsibility. Finally, it looks at whether experimental
methods used for researching moral reasoning are consistent with
the work in social psychology and with philosophical thought on
adult moral reasoning in everyday life.
The volume's wide-ranging perspectives reflect the varied
audiences for the volume, from students of philosophy to
psychologists working in cognition, social and personality
psychology, developmental psychology, abnormal psychology, and
cognitive neuroscience.
