Reviews

Written in clear and often witty prose... this book will serve as a great introduction to the current state of moral psychology. Kyle Furlane, University of Cincinnati; Metapsychology Online Reviews The book is highly useful for graduate students and moral scholars who want to understand whether individual differences in human behavior are a consequence of diverse person characteristics, situational constraints, or a combination of the two. Dr. Theresa Thorkildsen, Professor of Education and Psychology at the University of Illinois; PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 61, No. 16, April 2016
