Moral Me: Making good decisions in an intercultural world (Empathy, prejudice and practical ethics in an age of neuroscience)

“As someone who travels extensively in the Far East, this book really gave me confidence about sticking up for my own values whilst respecting those of my hosts.” Geoff Clarke

“An important new work in the interculturalist field.” Maggie Stones

What are the origins of our moral sense, and what do neuroscience and moral philosophy tell us about them? What role might prejudice and empathy have had in human evolution, and how does this knowledge help us make practical decisions in our everyday lives?
In this new book by Alan Cornes, the author takes us on a journey that starts out from an intercultural perspective and leads to an improved understanding of how we navigate the moral maze in a world of widely different cultural norms. It provides practical methods of how we can make good decisions in tune with our own values, whilst being respectful of others’.
Written in a clear, engaging and witty way, this book will help readers faced with a moral dilemma, those unsure of how to behave in foreign lands and a general audience looking to explore their own moral sense.
