520 # # |a This book addresses the question�of what it means to be moral and which capacities one needs to be moral. It questions whether empathy is a cognitive or an affective capacity, or perhaps both. As most moral beings behave immorally from time to time, the authors ask�which factors cause or motivate�people to translate their moral beliefs into action? Specially addressed�is the question of�what is the role of internal factors such as willpower, commitment, character,�and what is the role of external, situational and structural factors? The�questions are considered from various (disciplinary) perspectives.
