Abstract

Ethics surely matters to people, but to ignore the fact that other things matter as weIl is to oversimplify human motivation and behavior. Human action is often the ungainly resolution of conflicts between ethical and egotistical impulses, and the challenge for moral psychology is to understand these conflicts and their resolution.
