Elements of Moral Cognition: Rawls' Linguistic Analogy and the Cognitive Science of Moral and Legal Judgment
Mikhail, John (Professor, Georgetown University, Washington DC)
This book explores whether the science of moral cognition is usefully modelled on aspects of Noam Chomsky's theory of Universal Grammar. Just as Chomsky argued that human beings are born with innate knowledge of grammar, so Mikhail suggests that humans might possess innate moral knowledge, and how this question can be investigated.
