PhD, Cognitive Science
My current research focuses on the link between empathy and morality. In particular, my research is aimed at examining whether empathy is necessary for moral judgment and prosocial behaviour. I use examples from psychopathy to argue that psychopaths do not suffer from an empathy deficit, but instead suffer from shallow emotions. In doing so, I argue that empathy may not be at the core of moral behaviour.
