Cartography used to be tricky business. In mapping out the oceans and landmasses of the world, mapmakers had to endure attacks from animals, attacks from other people, starvation, hypothermia, and even worse. Mapping out the moral domain is no less challenging: The researchers who have written chapters in this volume have had to endure uncertainty and scientific challenges on the path to reviewing truths in moral psychology. In this volume, we present 57 chapters from the freshest minds in moral psychology. These chapters provide an overview of the strikingly large terrain of the field. Welcome to the Atlas of Moral Psychology. When we conceived of the idea of the atlas, we asked contributors to take a stand on a number of questions that we had developed, including whether morality was intuitive or deliberative; whether morality involved one, two, or many processes; whether morality was domain general or domain specific; and whether morality was the same across cultures. These questions reflected our own theoretical leanings, and it quickly became clear that moral psychology had more—and bigger—questions than we had ever imagined. This volume is so exciting because you can see just how big morality is and how many other fields it intersects with. Moral psychology started as a small offshoot of philosophy many years ago, but now it is a microcosm of the entire field of psychology, with debates about thinking and reasoning, new understandings of social cognition and the self, questions about animals and God, and even critical introspection.
