The Moral Brain

"The Moral Brain" is a scholarly book that delves into the complex processes of moral cognition in the human brain. At a time when scientists are questioning the notion of a separate moral organ, neuroscientists are utilizing modern technologies to explore the specific brain processes that enable moral thinking. The book offers an interdisciplinary approach by highlighting the interface between neurology and evolutionary psychology. It examines how evolutionary hypotheses can serve as a foundation for new neurological research and how imaging techniques can help confirm these hypotheses. Through contributions from leading scientists and philosophers, it provides a comprehensive overview of current achievements and future challenges in the study of the moral brain. Readers gain insights into the potential for collaboration between different disciplines to deepen the understanding of moral cognition.
