Moral Psychology: Feminist Ethics and Social Theory

These essays push the envelope of moral psychology so hard that the reader is forced to rethink what she takes moral psychology to be. ― Hypatia: A Journal of Feminist Philosophy

For anyone with an interest in moral psychology this volume will prove both enlightening and provocative. Furthermore, at a time when philosophy’s relationship to other fields, notably psychology, is both contested and in flux, it is especially exciting to have a collection of essays that persuasively demonstrates philosophy’s distinctive contribution to mapping our moral lives. It is, of course, no accident that this demonstration is provided by essays that, while ranging widely in topic and tone, are specifically feminist, and hence informed by the model of interdisciplinarity provided by feminist theory. — Naomi Scheman, professor of philosophy and women’s studies, University of Minnesota
