Professor Stephen Stich kindly accepts the invitation and will deliver a talk on the evolution of morality from 10:00 to 12:00 on March 29th, 2024 in Room 109 of the No. 3 Yard of Lee Shau Kee Humanities Buildings. The Abstract for the Talk: The theory of moral psychology proposed by Sripada & Stich, and many other theories in which social learning plays a major role, suggests that people will often internalize standards that reduce their own biological fitness. It might be thought that no such psychological mechanism could possibly evolve. But that would be a mistake. In this talk, I’ll explain why it was all but unavoidable that natural selection would lead to moral psychology in our species, once we had acquired the ability to learn from one another. The account I’ll offer explains why many moral regulations improve cooperative or pro-social behavior. It also explains why many human regulations lead to ethnic hatred and morally unacceptable behavior. If the account is correct, these standards will be very difficult to overturn, and powerful cultural differences in standards are likely to be widespread. * Chandra Sripada & Stephen Stich, “A Framework for the Psychology of Norms,” in P. Carruthers, S. Laurence & S. Stich, eds., The Innate Mind: Culture and Cognition.

Carruthers C．Stephen Stich D．Chandra Sripada 3．What is the text? A．A book review B．A research abstract C．A sales advertisement D．An academic notice （九） 【2023-2024学年安徽省马鞍山市高二下学期期末】A high-end train journey enables you to experience destinations at a unique pace and in total comfort while enjoying first-class service.

Professor Stephen Stich kindly accepts the invitation and will deliver a talk on the evolution of morality from 10:00 to 12:00 on March 29th, 2024 in Room 109 of the No. 3 Yard of Lee Shau Kee Humanities Buildings. The Abstract for the Talk: The theory of moral psychology proposed by Sripada & Stich, and many other theories in which social learning plays a major role, suggests that people will often internalize standards that reduce their own biological fitness. It might be thought that no such psychological mechanism could possibly evolve. But that would be a mistake. In this talk, I’ll explain why it was all but unavoidable that natural selection would lead to moral psychology in our species, once we had acquired the ability to learn from one another. The account I’ll offer explains why many moral regulations improve cooperative or pro-social behavior. It also explains why many human regulations lead to ethnic hatred and morally unacceptable behavior. If the account is correct, these standards will be very difficult to overturn, and powerful cultural differences in standards are likely to be widespread. * Chandra Sripada & Stephen Stich, “A Framework for the Psychology of Norms,” in P. Carruthers, S. Laurence & S. Stich, eds., The Innate Mind: Culture and Cognition.

(北京大学哲学系、外国哲学研究所、分析哲学研究中心将于2024年3月29日邀请来自美国罗格斯大学的Stephen Stich教授访问北京大学。)”可知，一位外国专家Stephen Stich教授将来北京大学。故选B项。 2．推理判断题。根据标题“Professor Stephen Stich’s Talk on “The Evolution of Morality”（Stephen Stich教授谈“道德的演变”）”和The Abstract for the Talk:(演讲摘要)中“In this talk, I’ll explain why it was all but unavoidable that natural selection would lead to moral psychology in our species, once we had acquired the ability to learn from one another.(在这次演讲中，我将解释为什么一旦我们获得了相互学习的能力，自然选择就会导致我们物种的道德心理，这几乎是不可避免的。)”可知，文章演讲摘要中的“I”指的是Stephen Stich教授。故选C项。 3．推理判断题。通读全文，根据标题Professor Stephen Stich’s Talk on “The Evolution of Morality”(Stephen Stich谈“道德的演变”)和第一段中“The Department of Philosophy, the Institute of Foreign Philosophy, and the Center for the Studies of Analytic Philosophy at Peking University invite Professor Stephen Stich (Rutgers University, USA) to visit Peking University on March 29th, 2024.
