Summary: I’ve spoken to Paul Bloom previously about the precocious moral awareness of young infants and the ingenious experiments used to demonstrate it. Now Paul has synthesized those findings in a far-reaching exploration of our ethical capacities and limitations. His new book is "Just Babies: The Origins of Good and Evil" Topics covered in this interview include: -Are we born with a sense of right and wrong? -Gut feelings vs. rational deliberation as a basis for ethical behavior -The roots of racism -Mafia morality -Sitcoms and moral uplift
