What is the right account of moral psychology?
Category: Psychology
Status: Queued
Why do humans have moral intuitions? Evolutionary accounts emphasise kin selection and reciprocal altruism; cultural accounts emphasise socialisation. Dual-process theories (Greene) distinguish fast emotional and slow rational moral reasoning.
Cross-cultural variation in moral intuitions, and the genetic and developmental origins of conscience, remain partly mapped.
