Moral Disengagement: Significance

The existence of moral disengagement shows that some moral intuitions are, at least in part, consequences of reasoning from known principles. It also appears to be a source of objections to each of the theories of moral intuitions we have so far considered, as well as (to anticipate) to Greene’s dual-process theory.

Thanks for these. Your videos on moral disengagement are really, really good. This is a most excellent presentation of some classic and highly influential social-cognitive psychology. I think Bandura's work here is spectacularly important, but your presentation brings the topics to life as well as anything I've seen before. I look forward to watching your series of lectures.
