Trade Review
"No one blends philosophy and neuroscience as well as Patricia Churchland. Here she provides a much-needed correction to the usual emphasis on reasoning and logic in moral philosophy. Our judgements are guided by ancient intuitions and brain processes shared with other mammals." -- Frans de Waal
"Conscience is illuminating, entertaining and wise." -- Nature
"... her conclusion—that conscience is not as fixed or universal as we might like to think—is a fascinating and provocative one." -- Economia
