"Overall, Moralistics and Psychomoralistics is a welcome addition to the field, generating new lines of inquiry for those working within moral psychology, and in particular within nativist frameworks. The contributions Wood offers to the topic are thought-provoking and provide a fresh perspective that has the potential to re-invigorate nativist theorising in moral psychology. Wood’s book offers significant contributions to the field, although it leaves room for further exploration and development. Future work in the study of moral cognition could benefit greatly from engaging with Wood’s ideas and building upon the framework proposed in this book." -Harriet Ivison, Department of Philosophy, Cardiff University, Cardiff, United Kingdom
