Introduction -- Brain-based values -- Caring and caring for -- Cooperating and trusting -- Networking : genes, brains, and behavior -- Skills for a social life -- Not as a rule -- Religion and morality.
What is morality? Where does it come from? And why do most of us heed its call most of the time? In Braintrust, neurophilosophy pioneer Patricia Churchland argues that morality originates in the biology of the brain.
