This is a book about the body and its amazing contribution to the moral mind. The author focuses on the important roles the body plays in moral cognition. What happens to us when we observe moral violations, make moral judgments and engage in moral actions? How does the body affect our moral decisions and shape our moral dispositions? Can embodied moral psychology be consistently pursued as a viable alternative to disembodied traditions of moral philosophy? Is there any school of philosophy where the body is discussed as the underlying foundation of moral judgment and action? To answer these questions, the author analyzes Confucian philosophy as an intriguing and insightful example of embodied moral psychology.
Bongrae Seok is associate professor of philosophy in Alvernia University (Reading, Pennsylvania). He received his BA in Seoul National University (South Korea) and MA and PhD from University of Arizona (Tucson, Arizona) where he studied philosophy and cognitive science. He was a postdoctoral research fellow in the neural systems, memory, and aging program at the University of Arizona for research projects on the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. He published several books and articles on decision theory, cognitive modularity, moral nativism (such as Mencius and Reid), moral reasoning (such as perception of change and probability, attribution patterns), moral emotion (such as Confucian shame) in Chinese philosophy and Confucian moral psychology. He has been working on several projects that relate Confucian philosophy to contemporary discussions of emotion, social cognition, intuition, moral reasoning, and character traits in psychology and cognitive science. His recent project includes an interpretation of Confucian moral psychology from the perspective of affective intuition, other regarding emotions, and embodied categorization patterns in taxonomic reasoning.
