Exploring the foundations of moral development, the book challenges the traditional view that morality is solely based on reasoning and abstract rules. It highlights the role of implicit systems, such as action schemas and perceptual filters, in guiding behavior and shaping human development. Darcia Narvaez posits that moral architecture is established early in life, with moral rationality and virtue emerging from lived experiences. By integrating anthropology, ethical philosophy, and neurobiology, the author critiques modern societies for straying from the cultural practices that fostered human morality.
Exploring Triune Ethics Meta-theory, this book examines the dynamic development of human morality influenced by early life experiences. It highlights how upbringing shapes tendencies toward either self-protective or open-hearted social relations. When aligned with evolutionary systems, prosocial behaviors flourish, while deviations lead to self-centered values and behaviors like tribalism. The author argues that many modern individuals show impaired moral capacities compared to those from hunter-gatherer societies, advocating for strategies to enhance moral development throughout life.
