Description

This book explores the impact of neuroscience research over the past 20 or more years on brain function as it affects moral decisions. It sets out the historical framework of the transition from ‘mentalism’ to ‘physicalism’, shows how the physical brain works in moral decisions and then examines three broad areas of moral decision-making – the brain in ‘bad’ acts, the brain in decisions involving sexual relations, and the brain in money decision-making.
