Omschrijving
This unique book presents an overview of believers and disbelievers in a cerebral seat of human morality. With depth and clarity, the book presents their positions and arguments, and offers an explanation for these attempts to localise our moral sense.
From the reviews:
“Verplaetse’s book begins with a long discussion of conscience and the moral sense through the eighteenth century. … Each chapter is filled with … detailed accounts of the views on the localization of higher faculties particularly related to the moral sense. … thus may be interest … to the specialist.” (Charles Gross, Social History of Medicine, Vol. 11 (3), September, 2010)
