Knowledge, belief, and moral psychology

Behav Brain Sci. 2021 Nov 19:44:e161. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X20001788.

Abstract

Phillips et al. make a strong case that knowledge representations should play a larger role in cognitive science. Their arguments are reinforced by comparable efforts to place moral knowledge, rather than moral beliefs, at the heart of a naturalistic moral psychology. Conscience, Kant's synthetic a priori, and knowledge attributions in the law all point in a similar direction.
