Moral Inferences is the first volume to thoroughly explore the
relationship between morality and reasoning. Drawing on the
expertise of world-leading researchers, this text provides
ground-breaking insight into the importance of studying these
distinct fields together. The volume integrates the latest research
into morality with current theories in reasoning to consider the
prominent role reasoning plays in everyday moral judgements.
Featuring contributions on topics such as moral arguments, causal
models, and dual process theory, this text provides a new
perspectives on previous studies, encouraging researchers to adopt
a more integrated approach in the future. Moral Inferences will be
essential reading for students and researchers of moral psychology,
specifically those interested in reasoning, rationality and
decision-making.

In recent years the psychology of reasoning has undergone radical
change, which can only be seen as a Kuhn-style scientific
revolution. This shift has been dubbed 'New Paradigm'. For years,
psychologists of reasoning focused on binary truth values and
regarded the influence of belief as a bias. In contrast to this,
the new paradigm puts probabilities, and subjective degrees of
belief, centre stage. It also emphasises subjective psychological
value, or utility; the way we reason within our own social
environment ('social pragmatics'); and the crucial role of dual
process theories. Such theories distinguish between fast, intuitive
processes, and effortful processes which enable hypothetical
thinking. The new paradigm aims to integrate the psychology of
reasoning with the study of judgement and decision making, leading
to a much more unified field of higher mental processing. This
collection showcases these recent developments, with chapters on
topics such as the difference between deduction and induction, a
Bayesian formulation of faint praise, the role of emotion in
reasoning, and the relevance of psychology of reasoning to moral
judgement. This book was originally published as a special issue of
Thinking & Reasoning.

This book argues that the science of reasoning will prove most
useful if focused on studying what human reasoning does best -
understanding people. Bonnefon argues that humanity's unique
reasoning abilities developed in order to handle the complexities
of cooperative social life. Accordingly, human beings became
exquisite students of the minds of other people to predict the kind
of decisions they make, and assess their character. In particular,
this volume explores the inferences humans make about the moral
character of others, how they delude themselves about their own
moral character, and the ways in which they can see through the
delusions of others. In conclusion, the book considers how to
leverage the power of human reasoning in order to sustain
democratic life. This work will interest scholars and students
working in fields including theory of mind, decision-making, moral
cognition, critical thinking, experimental philosophy, and
behavioural economics, as well as policy makers interested in how
reasoning impacts our political understanding.
