Evolutionary biologists have shown that moral cognition evolved to aid cooperation; developmental psychologists have demonstrated that the elements that underpin morality are in place much earlier than we thought; and social neuroscientists have begun to map brain circuits implicated in moral decision making. This volume offers an overview of current research on the moral brain, examining the topic from disciplinary perspectives that range from anthropology and neurophilosophy to justice and law. The contributors address the evolution of morality, considering precursors of human morality in other species as well as uniquely human adaptations. They examine motivations for morality, exploring the roles of passion, extreme sacrifice, and cooperation. They go on to consider the development of morality, from infancy to adolescence; findings on neurobiological mechanisms of moral cognition; psychopathic immorality; and the implications for justice and law of a more biological understanding of morality. These new findings may challenge our intuitions about society and justice, but they may also lead to more a humane and flexible legal system"--Provided by publisher. 606 $aNeurosciences$xSocial aspects 606 $aCognitive neuroscience 610 $aCOGNITIVE SCIENCES/Psychology/Cognitive Psychology 610 $aNEUROSCIENCE/General 610 $aPHILOSOPHY/General 615 0$aNeurosciences$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aCognitive neuroscience. 676 $a612.8/233 702 $aDecety$b Jean 702 $aWheatley$b Thalia$f1970- 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788171003321 996 $aThe moral brain$93869016 997 $aUNINA
