In this paper, I argue that proponents of biological moral enhancement have misrepresented the facts of human moral psychology.

I review arguments in favor of biological moral enhancement and argue that the complexity of moral psychology (...)

    Philosophers of science have developed an account of causal-mechanical explanation that captures regularity, but this account neglects variation. In this article I amend the philosophy of mechanisms to capture variation. The task is to explicate the relationship between regular causal mechanisms responsible for individual development and causes of variation responsible for variation in populations. As it turns out, disputes over this relationship have rested at the heart of the nature–nurture debate. Thus, an explication of the relationship between regular causal mechanisms (...)
