Leading philosophers, psychologists, and neuroscientists address
issues of moral responsibility and free will, drawing on new
findings from empirical science. Traditional philosophers
approached the issues of free will and moral responsibility through
conceptual analysis that seldom incorporated findings from
empirical science. In recent decades, however, striking
developments in psychology and neuroscience have captured the
attention of many moral philosophers. This volume of Moral
Psychology offers essays, commentaries, and replies by leading
philosophers and scientists who explain and use empirical findings
from psychology and neuroscience to illuminate old and new problems
regarding free will and moral responsibility. The contributors-who
include such prominent scholars as Patricia Churchland, Daniel
Dennett, and Michael Gazzaniga-consider issues raised by
determinism, compatibilism, and libertarianism; epiphenomenalism,
bypassing, and naturalism; naturalism; and rationality and
situationism. These writings show that although science does not
settle the issues of free will and moral responsibility, it has
enlivened the field by asking novel, profound, and important
questions. Contributors Roy F. Baumeister, Tim Bayne, Gunnar
