Do Psychopaths Make Moral Judgments? Speaker : Professor Walter Sinnott-Armstrong, Department of Philosophy and the Kenan Institute for Ethics, Duke University. Date :Tuesday 26th of July 2011, 4:00PM until 5:30PM Location : C5C498, Macquarie University. All welcome
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. -- _______________________________________________ SydPhil mailing list: http://sydphil.info 1000 subscribers now served!!
