Course Title

Moral Psychology

Course Description

This course is a study of the human moral mind from both a philosophical and scientific perspective. How do we determine what's morally right and wrong? Why do we act morally? and Why do we sometimes fail? Many such philosophical questions about morality have been illuminated by recent work in psychology and neuroscience. Our aim is to integrate varied disciplinary approaches to make progress in addressing both the practical and theoretical dimensions of these questions. Prerequisite: One course in philosophy or psychology, and sophomore standing. 4 SH. CC: Interdisciplinary, Ethics Intensive, Writing Intensive
