Marc Hauser

Marc Hauser is a prominent researcher in moral psychology, exploring how humans make ethical decisions and the underlying cognitive processes. He argues that our moral intuitions are shaped by both biological evolution and cultural influences. Hauser's work often emphasizes the role of instinctive reactions in moral judgments, suggesting that people can make moral decisions quickly and subconsciously, rather than through deliberate reasoning. His studies contribute to our understanding of how moral reasoning varies across cultures and how it relates to our evolutionary history, offering insights into the nature of morality itself.
