New Perspectives on Moral Change cover

The world we live in is constantly changing. Climate change, transforming gender conceptions, emerging issues of food consumption, novel forms of family life and technological developments are altering central areas of our forms of life. This raises questions of how to cope with and understand the moral changes implicit in such alterations. This volume is the first to address moral change as such. It brings together anthropologists and philosophers to discuss how to study and theorize the change of norms, concepts, emotions, moral frameworks and forms of personhood.

“An original and far-reaching work that will excite both students and senior scholars, attracting a wide readership within and beyond anthropology and moral philosophy and prompting lively debate across multiple fields and specialisms.”• Susan Bayly, University of Cambridge

“This volume is a valuable collection of texts around the undertheorized and crucial notion of moral change, which brings together anthropologists of ethics and moral philosophers. Such a book is needed and it would naturally find its place in the growing literature in the field of morality.”• Monica Heintz, Université Paris Nanterre
