PHIL 40363 Moral Psychology

Prerequisites: Two prior PHIL courses (any level), or permission of instructor. Moral psychology is precisely what it sounds like - the intersection of the study of morality (typically the domain of philosophy) and the study of our mental processes (typically the domain of psychology). It is an area in which we ask fundamental questions about the moral nature of human beings, and purse the answers to these questions via a constant exchange between philosophical theory and empirical data.
