Human beings are full of moral inconsistencies. We wear multiple moral hats on one head, and juggle double standards. But how do we manage being the moral acrobats that we are? Moral Acrobatics addresses this question by trying to shed honesty on who we are as moral agents and the limits of what we consider "moral". Philippe Rochat reveals our deep inclination to hold double standards and manage contradictory values, and our universal tendency to cluster our existence depending on context and situations, whether we deal with close kin, colleagues, strangers, lovers, or enemies. Ultimately, Moral Acrobatics explains our inclination to see the world in black and white.

He received his PhD from the University of Geneva, and studied infants as a pre-doctoral and post-doctoral fellow at Brown University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Johns Hopkins University. A 2006-2007 John Simon Guggenheim fellow, he has written over one hundred scholarly articles and is the single author of five books, as well as the editor or co-editor of three books.
