The Moral Vocabulary Approach

Abstract: At or near the beginning of many textbooks and syllabi in applied or professional ethics is a unit on philosophical moral theories (such as utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics). However, teaching such theories is of questionable value in this context. This article introduces the moral vocabulary approach. Instead of burdening students with complex ethical theories, they are introduced to the logic of elementary moral concepts. This avoids many of the drawbacks of teaching ethical theories, while pres… Show more

“…Finally, the neural correlates of binding tendency remain elusive. Neural network modeling has suggested the strength of lateral connectivity between unisensory regions as one possible neural mechanism and human neuroimaging studies have reported an increase in functional connectivity between unisensory brain regions following associative crossmodal learning [41,43]. Further research is needed to unravel the neural correlates of binding tendency in different processing domains, and for different types of sources of bias, namely top-down vs. bottom-up binding priors.…”

“…In Odegaard and Shams' study [27], the effect of passive exposure to different types of auditory-visual relationships on binding tendency led to findings that could not be explained by statistical learning in that exposure to congruent and incongruent stimuli did not lead to respective increases or decreases in binding tendency. Instead, a predictive coding framework [43,53,54,55,56,57] was argued to account for their multisensory learning effects. In this framework, learning is driven by prediction errors and, therefore, events that contradict the current internal model of the world would produce the largest degree of learning.…”
