Paul Bloom

Paul Bloom is a psychologist known for his work in moral psychology, exploring how humans understand right and wrong. He argues that our moral decisions are shaped by emotional responses and innate tendencies, rather than purely rational thinking. Bloom studies empathy, compassion, and the ways people categorize others, influencing their moral judgments. He emphasizes that morality can be both learned and instinctive, suggesting that human nature includes a blend of caring for others while also grappling with biases. His work helps explain why people act altruistically and how societal influences shape our moral beliefs.
