A Very Bad Wizard
A Very Bad Wizard: Morality Behind the Curtain | Tamler Sommers
1 post | 1 read
In the first edition of A Very Bad Wizard: Morality Behind the Curtain – Nine Conversations, philosopher Tamler Sommers talked with an interdisciplinary group of the world’s leading researchers—from the fields of social psychology, moral philosophy, cognitive science, and primatology—all working on the same issue: the origins and workings of morality. Together, these nine interviews pulled back some of the curtain, not only on our moral lives but—through Sommers’ probing, entertaining, and well informed questions—on the way morality traditionally has been studied. This Second Edition increases the subject matter, adding eight additional interviews and offering features that will make A Very Bad Wizard more useful in undergraduate classrooms. These features include structuring all chapters around sections and themes familiar in a course in ethics or moral psychology; providing follow-up podcasts for some of the interviews, which will delve into certain issues from the conversations in a more informal manner; including an expanded and annotated reading list with relevant primary sources at the end of each interview; presenting instructor and student resources online in a companion website. The resulting new publication promises to synthesize and make accessible the latest interdisciplinary research to offer a brand new way to teach philosophical ethics and moral psychology.

Hugely entertaining and accessible. My current read employs interviews with a range of academics from fields such as philosophy, social psychology, and cognitive science to explore the question of morality. Supported by podcasts, discussion questions, and suggestions for further reading, this is excellent both as an undergraduate resource, and as an introduction to the topic for the general interest reader. #philosophy #morality
