Synopsis The Moral Sense by : James Q. Wilson
Are human beings naturally endowed with a conscience? Or is morality artificially acquired through social pressure and instruction? Most people assume that modern science proves the latter. Further, most of our current social policies are based upon this “scientific” view of the sources of morality. In this book, however, James Q. Wilson seeks to reconcile traditional ideas with a range of important empirical research into the sources of human behavior over the last fifty years. Marshalling evidence drawn from diverse scientific disciplines, including animal behavior, anthropology, evolutionary theory, biology, endocrinology, brain science, genetics, primatology, education and psychology, Wilson shows that the facts about the origin and development of moral reasoning are not at odds with traditional views predating Freud, Darwin and Marx. Our basic sense of right and wrong actually does have a biological and behavioral origin. This “moral sense” arises from the infant’s innate sociability, though it must also be nurtured by parental influence. Thus, this book revives ancient traditions of moral and ethical argument that go back to Aristotle, and reunifies the separate streams of philosophical and scientific knowledge that for so long were regarded as unbridgeable.

Synopsis The Origin and Growth of the Moral Instinct, Vol. 1 of 2 (Classic Reprint) by : Alexander Sutherland
Excerpt from The Origin and Growth of the Moral Instinct, Vol. 1 of 2 If the name of Charles Darwin but rarely occurs in these pages, it is not that they owe little to his influence. On the contrary, full half of the book is a detailed expansion of the fourth and fifth chapters of his Descent of Man. But in that portion of his memorable work, the great naturalist has given us clearly to understand that he offers us only a brief sketch, not any full and completed demonstration. His progress in these chapters reminds us of the march of some active and brilliant general who outlines a great conquest, but leaves behind him many a fort, and city, and strong place, to be subsequently beleaguered by plodding officers, each concluding in his own province, by time and labour, what his commander had effectively done in design. Darwin showed in these chapters a noble gift of insight, but to have made good his position from point to point, to have left nothing behind him unreduced, would have demanded a labour which neither his own health nor the length of an ordinary life would have permitted. He left many a department in which a book such as the following might make itself useful, by laboriously filling in the master's scheme.

Synopsis Just Babies by : Paul Bloom
A leading cognitive scientist argues that a deep sense of good and evil is bred in the bone. From John Locke to Sigmund Freud, philosophers and psychologists have long believed that we begin life as blank moral slates. Many of us take for granted that babies are born selfish and that it is the role of society—and especially parents—to transform them from little sociopaths into civilized beings. In Just Babies, Paul Bloom argues that humans are in fact hardwired with a sense of morality. Drawing on groundbreaking research at Yale, Bloom demonstrates that, even before they can speak or walk, babies judge the goodness and badness of others’ actions; feel empathy and compassion; act to soothe those in distress; and have a rudimentary sense of justice. Still, this innate morality is limited, sometimes tragically. We are naturally hostile to strangers, prone to parochialism and bigotry. Bringing together insights from psychology, behavioral economics, evolutionary biology, and philosophy, Bloom explores how we have come to surpass these limitations. Along the way, he examines the morality of chimpanzees, violent psychopaths, religious extremists, and Ivy League professors, and explores our often puzzling moral feelings about sex, politics, religion, and race. In his analysis of the morality of children and adults, Bloom rejects the fashionable view that our moral decisions are driven mainly by gut feelings and unconscious biases. Just as reason has driven our great scientific discoveries, he argues, it is reason and deliberation that makes possible our moral discoveries, such as the wrongness of slavery. Ultimately, it is through our imagination, our compassion, and our uniquely human capacity for rational thought that we can transcend the primitive sense of morality we were born with, becoming more than just babies. Paul Bloom has a gift for bringing abstract ideas to life, moving seamlessly from Darwin, Herodotus, and Adam Smith to The Princess Bride, Hannibal Lecter, and Louis C.K. Vivid, witty, and intellectually probing, Just Babies offers a radical new perspective on our moral lives.
