Description

Gregory R. Peterson is a co-editor and contributing author, "Exemplarism: Some Considerations.”

Book description: Theology and the Science of Moral Action explores a new approach to ethical thinking that promotes dialogue and integration between recent research in the scientific study of moral cognition and behaviour―including neuroscience, moral psychology, and behavioural economics―and virtue theoretic approaches to ethics in both philosophy and theology. More particularly, the book evaluates the concept of moral exemplarity and its significance in philosophical and theological ethics as well as for ongoing research programs in the cognitive sciences.
