Moralities of Everyday Life

Morality from a psychological angle

This course asks where our sense of right and wrong comes from and why people so often disagree about moral questions. It grounds the discussion in psychology, looking at how kindness and cruelty arise in everyday life.

Themes to expect

• The psychological roots of moral judgement
• How empathy and emotional intelligence feed into behaviour
• Child development and the origins of a moral sense

It suits students of psychology and anyone curious about why ordinary moral choices are so hard to agree on.
