N1  - Includes bibliographical references (p. [309]-328) and index; Morality and emotion -- Constructing morals
N2  - "Jesse J. Prinz argues that recent work in philosophy, neuroscience, and anthropology supports two radical hypotheses about the nature of morality: moral values are based on emotional responses, and these emotional responses are inculcated by culture, not hard-wired through natural selection." "Throughout the book, Prinz relates his view to contemporary and historical work in philosophical ethics. His views echo themes in the writings of David Hume and Friedrich Nietzsche, but Prinz supports, extends, and revises these classic theories using the resources of cutting-edge cognitive science. The Emotional Construction of Moral will stimulate and challenge anyone who is curious about the nature and origin of moral values."--BOOK JACKET
