Moral PsychologySergio Tenenbaum Rodopi, 2007 - 343 pages In recent decades the central questions of moral psychology have attracted renewed interest.

This volume presents original work from some of the most prominent philosophers currently working on moral psychology, spanning both the historical and the contemporary problem-based approaches. |
