D. Preparing to study Hume
About Moral Sense Test
Nothing draws the attention of human moral dilemma. Whether or not we are soap opera fans, we can not help sticking our noses in the affairs of others, speaking out about what is right or wrong, what is permissive or not, justified or unjustified. For hundreds of years, experts have argued that our moral judgments arise from rational, conscious, voluntary, and self-reflective about what it should be. This approach has increased the belief that our moral psychology is a slowly developing capacity, founded entirely on experience and education, and subject to considerable variation across different cultures. Except for a few examples trivial, what is acceptable in one culture is not in another. We believe that this hyper rational, culturally-specific and is not sustainable. The MST is designed to show why and offer an alternative. Most of our moral intuitions are unconscious, involuntary and universal, and develop in each child despite having no formal education. When humans, from primitive men Rift Valley to the billionaire Silicon Valley generate moral intuitions, they are instinctive decisions are taken without knowing why or how, we call this capacity our moral faculty. Our goal is to use the information obtained MST and other research to explain what it is, how it evolved, and how it develops in humans, creating individuals with moral responsibilities and concerns for human welfare. The MST is designed for all humans who are curious about that puzzling little word "I" --- and on the principles that make one action right and another wrong, and why we rejoice in the first and feel guilty about the latter .
As in every modern view, there are important historical precedents. The origin of our own perspective date back at least 300 years ago the philosopher David Hume and more recently the political philosopher John Rawls. Of But unlike these visionary thinkers, we can now validate the intuitions with significant scientific evidence. Over the past twenty years has been growing evidence of a universally shared moral authority, based on findings in evolutionary biology, cognitive psychology, anthropology, economics, linguistics, biology and neurology. This evidence has created a powerful movement to the central aspects of human nature. It is a movement that has the power to reshape our lives by uncovering the deep structure of our moral intuitions and showing how they can support or oppose our conscious decisions often legally supported.
