The book continues by studying and analyzing moral anthropology, moral agency and motivation, virtues and social and political commitments, taking a thematic approach in a specific time-period and focus on the most unique and/or fruitful discussions about a particular historically situated discussion when it comes to thinking about questions and/or ¿problems¿ in the field of moral psychology. Aimed at both a layman and academic audience, this book is of great interest to a broad readership.
