What They're Saying
Critics Review
“In the last decade moral psychology has been transformed into one of the most interesting and important areas of interdisciplinary research – a field where philosophers, psychologists, neuroscientists, anthropologists, and economists interact productively. Recent theories and findings have generated a genuine and justified sense of intellectual excitement. If you want to see what all the excitement is about, this book is a great place to start.” –Stephen Stich, Board of Governors Professor of Philosophy and Cognitive Science, Rutgers University – Stephen Stich, Rutgers University “Moral Psychology is a remarkable publishing achievement. Sinnott-Armstrong has a real talent for drawing together the cutting-edge researchers in the field, and letting them present their positions and challenge each other. These three substantial volumes cover many of the newer and more exciting issues being raised in ethics and moral psychology today. Essential reading for anyone who wants to know where the field is heading.”–Peter Singer, Ira W. Decamp Professor of Bioethics in the UniversityCenter for Human Values, Princeton University – Peter Singer, Princeton University
