About the Book:

This is the first philosophy textbook in moral psychology, introducing students to a range of philosophical topics and debates such as:

• What is moral motivation?

• Do reasons for action always depend on desires?

• Is emotion or reason at the heart of moral judgment?

• Under what conditions are people morally responsible?

• Are there self-interested reasons for people to be moral?

Moral Psychology: A Contemporary Introduction presents research by philosophers and psychologists on these topics, and addresses the overarching question of how empirical research is (or is not) relevant to philosophical inquiry.
