Reception
Founded by a group of philosophers and cognitive scientists in April 2003, the Moral Psychology Research Group fosters collaborative interdisciplinary research on human mentation and morality. Their collaboratively authored volume, The Moral Psychology Handbook, appeared with Oxford University Press in June 2010.
Established in memory of Charles H. Murphy, Sr. (1870-1954), and inspired by the vision of Charles H. Murphy, Jr. (1920-2002), The Murphy Institute exists to help Tulane faculty and students understand economic, moral, and political problems we all face and think about. More important, it exists to help us understand how these problems have come to be so closely interconnected.
