Rezensionen

"Valerie Tiberius' Moral Psychology, 2^nd edition, proved to be the ideal stand-alone text for my upper-division course on the Philosophy and Psychology of Morality. The breadth of topics covered is impressive, the writing is reader-friendly, and philosophical and scientific perspectives on morality are each given their due - and, when possible, skillfully integrated. My students enjoyed discussing the book and learned much from it, as did I. A+!"

Timothy Shanahan, Loyola Marymount University

"This might be the only textbook I've read that I can honestly describe as a page-turner. Engaging and funny, this fantastic book manages to cover the vast field of moral psychology, from ancient philosophical theories to the latest empirical findings. Tiberius is able to illustrate and explain complex philosophical puzzles in a way that is not only clear - it's also clearly applicable to readers' own lives."

Jesse Graham, The University of Utah
