Follow on Google News | Moral Me by Alan Cornes. New ebook by UK author.New book by British author explores a forgotten side to multi-cultural and inter-cultural discourses by exploring what humans have in common, and how this is a basis for better understanding between individuals and cultures.
Language aside, certain human attributes, hardwired into our brains, play a crucial part in enabling us to communicate, and connect with others from different cultures. Empathy and implicit bias are two of the key elements influencing our ability to connect and build deep, meaningful relationships with others. Empathetic ability enables while a lack of it disables. Implicit bias may help a group to bond, and foster team cohesion against a threat brought by outsiders, but implicit bias is also a polite term for prejudice, which at best can hinder amicable communications, and at worst can prevent any positive communication from taking place. Moral Me explores what recent advances in neuroscience can offer us in our understanding of both empathy and implicit bias and then what use we can make of the information. Crossing cultural boundaries is as much about making choices and decisions as it is about solving problems and reconciling differences. The more difficult of these choices are those that challenge our values and require us, not only to make a judgement or a decision, but sometimes, in effect, to choose between the person we are, and the person we want to be. These are the choices that linger in the back of our minds and haunt us, especially if we later feel we made the wrong choice. The book explores what neuroscience has to tell us about morality and how moral philosophy can provide understanding and guidance on how to deal with challenging moral dilemmas.
