More about the book

Focusing on the psychology of moral agency, this collection of essays delves into moral feelings and motivations, tracing their roots in human desires and emotions. A distinctive aspect is the incorporation of Freud's insights on conscience and morality, with several essays examining the strengths and limitations of his theories. The volume critiques rationalist perspectives, arguing against the notion that reason alone drives moral action, emphasizing instead the interplay of cognitive and affective capacities in shaping moral agency.
