Moral Psychology: A Contemporary Introduction Van Valerie Tiberius is an English-language textbook that focuses on the philosophy of moral psychology. The book is intended for students in higher education and offers a thorough and up-to-date introduction.
As the first philosophy book to address moral psychology specifically, it introduces a range of philosophical themes such as moral motivation, the role of emotions versus reason, and moral responsibility. The second edition has been expanded with new insights from recent philosophical and psychological research. For example, it includes a new chapter on the question of whether morality is innate or learned, and it discusses challenges for psychology such as the replication crisis and implicit biases.
The book emphasizes the relationship between traditional and interdisciplinary approaches and clarifies how empirical research is relevant to philosophical debates. In addition, the summaries, discussion questions, and bibliographies for each chapter have been updated.
