New theory of ethics may transform moral psychology

(Bar-Ilan University) In his book, Ethics and Attachment: How we make moral judgments (Routledge), Israeli psychologist Aner Govrin, Ph.D., of Bar-Ilan University, suggests an innovative framework for understanding moral judgment. His theory shows for the first time that moral judgment is a computation process, and people from different cultures compute moral judgments in the same manner even though they reach different, and even conflicting, conclusions.
