02/12/12 Michael Almeida, Worship Associate Although morality is usually thought of as based on rules whose origins are either supernatural or based on pure reason, several recent books have argued that morality is actually based on our biological nature as determined by evolution. This talk will describe some of what has been learned about the hormonal and neurological underpinnings of moral behavior, as well as some of the major implications of this approach to moral questions. Michael Almeida is a professor of computer science with primary interests in Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science. He and his wife Eugenie have been members of various Unitarian congregations since the 1980s. |
