Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the foundations of moral development, the book challenges the traditional view that morality is solely based on reasoning and abstract rules. It highlights the role of implicit systems, such as action schemas and perceptual filters, in guiding behavior and shaping human development. Darcia Narvaez posits that moral architecture is established early in life, with moral rationality and virtue emerging from lived experiences. By integrating anthropology, ethical philosophy, and neurobiology, the author critiques modern societies for straying from the cultural practices that fostered human morality.
