Sommario/riassunto

"Psychopathy has been the subject of investigations in both philosophy and psychiatry and yet the conceptual issues remain largely unresolved. This volume approaches psychopathy by considering the question of what psychopaths lack. The contributors investigate specific moral dysfunctions or deficits, shedding light on the capacities people need



to be moral by examining cases of real people who seem to lack those capacities"--Publisher's description.
