Moral psychology : feminist ethics and social theory

DesAutels, Peggy, 1955- (Added Author). Walker, Margaret Urban, 1948- (Added Author).

Summary: Moral psychology studies the features of cognition, judgement, perception and emotion that make human beings capable of moral action. Perspectives from feminist and race theory immensely enrich moral psychology. Writers who take these perspectives ask questions about mind, feeling, and action in contexts of social difference and unequal power and opportunity. These essays by a distinguished international cast of philosophers explore moral psychology as it connects to social life, scientific studies, and literature.
