"The tremendous recent growth of interest in moral psychology has
yielded no shortage of deep debate and thorny thickets. Gray and
Graham have brought together a talented array of scholars who are
working to cut through these intellectual brambles. Their objective
is nothing short of mapping the full complexity of the moral
domain. This volume is a major achievement."--Linda J. Skitka, PhD,
Department of Psychology, University of Illinois at Chicago
"A gift for anyone interested in moral psychology. The Atlas is a
masterful, state-of-the-art compendium of descriptive and
theoretical work on moral judgments, emotions, and reasoning, as
well as the compulsive force of parochial social norms and the
human experience of self-evidently appealing universal values.
Eminent scholars from diverse schools of thought explore
fundamental questions: What is a moral judgment? Is it anything
more than a self-affirming gut feeling? Why do people often
disagree with each other about what is right and wrong? Does being
moral mean being highly susceptible to fear (as Nietzsche once
proposed)? Is there such a thing as moral truth? Students of the
human mind looking for a map of its ethical component should be
very happy."--Richard A. Shweder, PhD, Harold Higgins Swift
Distinguished Service Professor, Department of Comparative Human
Development, University of Chicago
“The last two decades have seen an explosion in the number of
philosophers and scientists turning to the study of moral
psychology. The result is a thriving field--the most robustly
interdisciplinary in the academy--dedicated to discovering how the
mind works out moral matters. If you want to know where moral
psychology is at and where it’s heading, look no further than the
Atlas of Moral Psychology. In 57 provocative chapters, a stellar
group of leading researchers ask, and begin to answer, the
questions that will define the field for years to come."--John M.
Doris, PhD, Philosophy–Neuroscience–Psychology Program and
Philosophy Department, Washington University in St. Louis -The
contributors, who include both philosophers and psychologists, are
acknowledged experts in the field….Each essay is framed as an
answer to a specific question, such as 'What do we evaluate when we
evaluate moral character?' and both the question and an abbreviated
version of the answer are printed at the head of each chapter. This
feature makes the book very user-friendly, particularly for
students and readers new to moral psychology….Recommended.
