Ethical Thought (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781947498709)

Why is a certain behavior considered ethical? By what processes does a certain behavior become ethical? Why are some people more capable of behaving ethically? This book discusses questions such as these with the help of the perspectives drawn from three distinct fields: Religion, Philosophy and Neuroscience. Theorists from the ancient to the recent - from the Buddha and Socrates to Antonio Damasio - are covered.
