Bücher von Graham Wood

These poems are about time and memory. Many of them focus on the particular moments of experience that our memories are able to capture and preserve, a process of considerable mystery. In this, his first full-length collection, Graham Wood considers some of the mysteries involved in time and memory. He does this obliquely, in a glancing way, rather than directly. Many of the poems are like snapshots or small movies, often suffused with a quirky humour. Others are more serious in tone and reach, but always retain a lightness of touch.

This book brings together three distinct research programmes in moral psychology - Moral Foundations Theory, Cognitive Adaptations for Social Exchange, and the Linguistic Analogy in Moral Psychology - and shows that they can be combined to create a unified cognitive science of moral intuition.The book assumes evolution has furnished the human mind with two types of judgement: intuitive and deliberative. Focusing on moral intuitions (understood as moral judgments that were not arrived at via a process of conscious deliberation), the book explores the origins of these intuitions, examines how they are produced, and explains why the moral intuitions of different humans differ.Providing a unique synthesis of three separate established fields, this book presents a new research program that will further our understanding of the various different intuitive moral judgements at the heart of some of the moral tensions within human society.
