Redish argues that moral questions have a scientific basis and that morality is best viewed as a technology—a set of social and institutional forces that create communities and drive cooperation. This means that some moral structures really are better than others and that the moral technologies we use have real consequences on whether we make our societies better or worse places for the people living within them. Drawing on this new scientific definition of morality and real-world applications, \u003ci\u003eChanging How We Choose\u003c\/i\u003e is an engaging read with major implications for how we see each other, how we build our communities, and how we live our lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany people think of human interactions in terms of conflicts between individual freedom and group cooperation, where it is better for the group if everyone cooperates but better for the individual to cheat. Redish shows that moral codes are technologies that change the game so that cooperating is good for the community \u003ci\u003eand \u003c\/i\u003efor the individual. Redish, an authority on neuroeconomics and decision-making, points out that the key to moral codes is how they interact with the human decision-making process. Drawing on new insights from behavioral economics, sociology, and neuroscience, he shows that there really is a “new science of morality” and that this new science has implications—not only for how we understand ourselves but also for how we should construct those new moral technologies.Introduction\u003cbr\u003e1 Searching for a Science of Morality 3\u003cbr\u003eI Moral Experiments\u003cbr\u003e2 Economic Games 17\u003cbr\u003e3 The Assurance Game 29\u003cbr\u003e4 Reciprocity 45\u003cbr\u003e5 Asabiya 55\u003cbr\u003e6 Social Control 73\u003cbr\u003eII How We Choose\u003cbr\u003e7 The Neuroscience of Choice 91\u003cbr\u003e8 Moral and Immoral Actions 103\u003cbr\u003e9 Intrinsic Goals 125\u003cbr\u003e10 Empathy and Trust 145\u003cbr\u003e11 Trauma, Moral Injury, and Resilience 155\u003cbr\u003eTransition \u003cbr\u003e12 From Science to Engineering 169\u003cbr\u003eIII Institutions and Policies\u003cbr\u003e13 The Rules of the Road 187\u003cbr\u003e14 Justice and Redemption 207\u003cbr\u003e15 Religion 223\u003cbr\u003e16 Government 241\u003cbr\u003e17 Beyond Humanity 251\u003cbr\u003eIV The New Science of Morality\u003cbr\u003e18 Beyond Moral Relativism 265\u003cbr\u003e19 Better Moral Structures 273\u003cbr\u003e20 Conclusion 291\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments 297\u003cbr\u003eGlossary 299\u003cbr\u003eNotes 305\u003cbr\u003eBibliography 329\u003cbr\u003eIndex 357“This book argues that morality profoundly transforms human interactions to harmonize the interests of communities and individuals.
