Programme de cours : ce que vous apprendrez dans ce cours
Welcome to Moralities of Everyday Life!
The Big Questions
What is morality, anyway? What are the big debates in the field of moral psychology?
Compassion
Where does concern for others come from? How is it related to empathy—and is more empathy necessarily a good thing? And what can we learn from the study of those who seemingly lack normal moral feelings, such as violent psychopaths?
Origins of Morality
Here, we ask about which aspects of morality are universal. We discuss evolution, cross-cultural research, and the fascinating new science of the moral life of babies.
Differences
How does culture influence our moral thought and moral action? What role does religion play? Why are some of us conservative and others liberal, and how do political differences influence our sense of right and wrong?

Meilleurs avis pour LA MORALITÉ DE LA VIE QUOTIDIENNE
It was very informational and challenging in ones' own personal belief, thoughts, and ethical values. I would love to take a follow-up on additional courses. And Professor Bloom was very informative.
Phenomenal class! Dr. Bloom is a thoughtful, well spoken, brilliant professor!
Thank you Coursera and Thank you Yale for making such valuable work available.

The course is accessible even for those of us who had limited background in philosophy and psychology. I think if enough people take this, it can help produce a better society.
Great class, i took it in order to better understand myself (why I make the decisions i do), how to become a better person, and to understand why others make the choices that they do.
