Moral Psychology Reviews

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.
