Morality seems to be a universal feature of human thinking. People across time, place and culture have a strong sense that certain things are right or wrong, that some people are good and some are evil. Where does this moral sense come from? Why do some people disagree so strongly about what is right and wrong? How did evolution shape this moral sense? How does it develop? Are there any universally agreed upon moral rules? The goals of this course are to offer an introduction to the science behind our moral sense.
