Joshua Greene

Joshua Greene is a prominent psychologist known for his work in moral psychology, particularly how we make ethical decisions. He explores the conflict between our intuitive, emotional responses and our rational, deliberate reasoning when faced with moral dilemmas. His research often involves neuroscience, where he uses brain imaging to investigate how people’s brains respond when they think about moral issues. Greene argues that our moral judgments can be influenced by both automatic feelings and reflective thought, highlighting the complex interplay between emotion and reason in our decision-making processes.
