Evolutionary biologists have shown that moral cognition evolved to aid cooperation; developmental psychologists have demonstrated that the elements that underpin morality are in place much earlier than we thought; and social neuroscientists have begun to map brain circuits implicated in moral decision making. This volume offers an overview of current research on the moral brain, examining the topic from disciplinary perspectives that range from anthropology and neurophilosophy to justice and law. The contributors address the evolution of morality, considering precursors of human morality in other species as well as uniquely human adaptations. They examine motivations for morality, exploring the roles of passion, extreme sacrifice, and cooperation. They go on to consider the development of morality, from infancy to adolescence; findings on neurobiological mechanisms of moral cognition; psychopathic immorality; and the implications for justice and law of a more biological understanding of morality. These new findings may challenge our intuitions about society and justice, but they may also lead to more a humane and flexible legal system"--Provided by publisher. 000766926 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 000766926 650_0 $$aNeurosciences$$xSocial aspects. 000766926 650_0 $$aCognitive neuroscience. 000766926 653__ $$aCOGNITIVE SCIENCES/Psychology/Cognitive Psychology 000766926 653__ $$aNEUROSCIENCE/General 000766926 653__ $$aPHILOSOPHY/General 000766926 655_0 $$aElectronic books 000766926 7001_ $$aDecety, Jean,$$eeditor. 000766926 7001_ $$aWheatley, Thalia,$$d1970-$$eeditor. 000766926 852__ $$bebk$$hMIT Press 000766926 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/9988.001.0001$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 000766926 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 000766926 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:766926$$pGLOBAL_SET 000766926 980__ $$aBIB 000766926 980__ $$aEBOOK 000766926 982__ $$aEbook 000766926 983__ $$aOnline
