Moral psychology has long focused on reasoning, but recent evidence suggests that moral judgment is more a matter of emotion and affective intuition than deliberate reasoning. Here we discuss recent findings in psychology and cognitive neuroscience, including several studies that specifically investigate moral judgment. These findings indicate the importance of affect, although they allow that reasoning can play a restricted but significant role in moral judgment. They also point towards a preliminary account of the functional neuroanatomy of moral judgment, according to which many brain areas make important contributions to moral judgment although none is devoted specifically to it.
长期以来，道德心理学一直专注于推理，但最近的证据表明，道德判断更多地是情感和情感直觉的问题，而非审慎推理。在此，我们讨论心理学和认知神经科学的最新研究成果，包括几项专门研究道德判断的研究。这些研究结果表明了情感的重要性，尽管它们承认推理在道德判断中可以发挥有限但重要的作用。它们还指向了道德判断功能神经解剖学的初步解释，据此，许多脑区对道德判断都有重要贡献，尽管没有一个脑区专门负责道德判断。
