Preface to the Princeton Science Library edition -- Brain-based values -- Caring and caring for -- Cooperating and trusting -- Networking : genes, brains, and behavior -- Skills for a social life -- Not as a rule -- Religion and morality.
What is morality? Where does it come from? And why do most of us heed its call most of the time? In Braintrust, neurophilosophy pioneer Patricia Churchland argues that morality originates in the biology of the brain. She describes the "neurobiological platform of bonding" that, modified by evolutionary pressures and cultural values, has led to human styles of moral behavior. The result is a provocative genealogy of morals that asks us to reevaluate the priority given to religion, absolute rules, and pure reason in accounting for the basis of morality.--
