Joint CAVE/MACCS/Philosophy seminar Tuesday 26th July
4.00-5.30pm C5C498 Professor Walter Sinnott-Armstrong Department of Philosophy and the Kenan Institute for Ethics Duke University. Duke Center for Cognitive Neuroscience Mind Research Network. MQRCAVE Distinguished Visitor Title: Do Psychopaths Make Moral Judgments? Abstract: Psychopaths are less than 1% of the population but commit over 30% of the violent crime in most modern societies. Some experts claim that psychopaths make moral judgments but do not care about morality. Others argue that psychopaths do not really make moral judgments but only pretend to do so. I will present recent data as well as experimental plans to address this dispute. These results can be important for treatment, prediction, and punishment policies as well as philosophical debates about the nature and basis of moral judgment. -- Jeanette Kennett Professor of Moral Psychology Cognitive Science CORE Department of Philosophy Macquarie University NSW 2109 _______________________________________________ SydPhil mailing list: http://sydphil.info 1000 subscribers now served!!
