This cluster studies morality (i.e., moral learning, beliefs, values, feelings, and behavior) from the perspective of philosophy, psychology, and other academic disciplines. The aim of these courses is not just the practical moral one of improving moral thought and behavior but the more intellectual one of coming to understand better this central aspect of our human nature.

This course focuses attention on the psychology of moral development, as well such philosophical questions as whether there are any objective moral standards. There will also be stress on the distinctions between philosophical questions about morality, scientific questions about morality and moral questions themselves, as well as some effort to introduce students to the relevant methods of scientific inquiry on the one hand, and philosophical inquiry on the other hand.
This SINQ leads to the Morality Cluster.
