Conscience by Patricia Churchland
Through science and philosophy, Conscience illuminates the answer to the question of how we determine right from wrong.
"No one blends philosophy and neuroscience as well as Patricia ChurchlandHere she provides a much-needed correction to the usual emphasis on reasoning and logic in moral philosophy. Our judgements are guided by ancient intuitions and brain processes shared with other mammals." -- Frans de Waal
"Conscience is illuminating, entertaining and wise." -- Nature
"... her conclusion—that conscience is not as fixed or universal as we might like to think—is a fascinating and provocative one." -- Economia
