Moral Minds
How Nature Designed Our Universal Sense of Right and Wrong by Marc D. Hauser
Ecco (HarperCollins), New York, 2006. 511 pp. $27.95, C$35.95. ISBN 0-06-078070-3.
Our brains, the author argues, contain a specialized circuit for moral problems, one that incorporates a "universal moral grammar."
