Despite the many attempts to disentangle the relationship between
morality and emotion, as is clear from the myriad of approaches
that try to understand the nature and importance of their
connection, the extent of this synergy remains rather
controversial. The multidisciplinary framework of the present
volume was specifically designed to challenge self-containing
disciplinary views, encouraging a more integrative analysis that
covers various methodological angles and theoretical perspectives.
Contributions include discussions on the interrelation between
moral philosophy, emotion and identity, namely the clash between
grand ethical theories and the practicality of human life;
philosophical considerations on akrasia or the so called weakness
of will, and the factors behind it; anthropological reflections on
empathy and prosocial behavior; accounts from artificial
intelligence and evolutionary game theory; and literary and
artistic dissections of emotional responses to the representational
power of fiction and the image. The inclusion of chapters from
varied scientific backgrounds substantially enriches this debate
and shows that several core questions, such as the ones related to
identity and to the way we perceive the other and ourselves, are
transversal. It is therefore valuable and pressing to further
explore these common threads, and to encourage disciplinary
dialogues across both traditional and emerging fields to help shed
new light on the puzzling and fascinating ways in which morality
and emotion are mutually imbricated.
