Philosophers have
discussed virtue and character since Socrates, but many traditional views
have been challenged by recent findings in psychology and
neuroscience. This fifth volume of Moral Psychology grows out
of this new wave of interdisciplinary work on virtue, vice, and character.
It offers essays, commentaries, and replies by leading philosophers and
scientists who explain and use empirical findings from psychology and
neuroscience to illuminate virtue and character and related issues in
moral philosophy. The contributors discuss such topics as eliminativist
and situationist challenges to character; investigate the conceptual and
empirical foundations of self-control, honesty, humility, and compassion;
and consider whether the virtues contribute to well-being.
Walter Sinnott-Armstrong is Stillman Professor of Practical Ethics in the Philosophy Department and the Kenan Institute for Ethics at Duke University. He edited the previous volumes in Moral Psychology.
