discipline¿s history of being sidetracked by overemphasis on theoretical constructs and physical causes¿what the author terms ¿the psychologizing of morality.¿ This synthesis of ideas brings an essential unity to what can sometimes appear as a fragmented area of inquiry at odds with itself. The book¿s ¿interpretive-pragmatic approach¿: ¿ Revisits core psychological concepts as supporting normative value systems. ¿ Traces how psychology has shaped society¿s view of morality. ¿ Confronts the ¿naturalistic fallacy¿ in contemporary psychology. ¿ Explains why moral science need not be separated from social science. ¿ Addresses challenges and critiques to the author¿s work from both formalist and relativist theories of morality. With its bold call to reason, Psychology as a Moral Science contains enough controversial ideas to spark great interest among researchers and scholars in psychology and the philosophy of science.
