Key note speaker series: Ronald De Sousa on Emotion, evolution and morality

Psychology, brain science and evolutionary theory converge to show that morality and politics, no less than art and religion, are grounded in emotion. Emotions are themselves the legacy of our biological, historical, and individual pasts. These can result in counterproductive emotional dispositions. The implications for human rationality are sobering.
