도덕의 생래성을 둘러싼 현대 도덕 심리학 논쟁 검토- 마크 하우저의 도덕 심리학을 중심으로-

Moral psychology is a study which reviews moral characteristic of human nature. And moral psychology these days differs from that of the past, because of its interdisciplinary characteristic. The main controversy of this field of study is whether morality is innate or not. About this question, Hauser applies the linguistics of Chomsky to moral faculty. He explains that people have innate morality just the same as people are acquired with communicative speaking skill, naturally. Based on Hauser’s model, 'The Principles and Parameters Model', humans have innate morality and judge right and wrong accordingly. In order to support this model,. Hauser suggests 'Trolley Dilemma' and 'The Argument of Poverty of the stimulus'. However, it is quite controversial owing to validity of correlation between linguistics and his argument. His argument also raises the question about what exactly the innate morality is. On the other hand, the opponent of Hauser, Prinz claims that the models suggested by Hauser barely shows innate morality of human and is against innate morality of human nature. Another opponent, Sripada proposes ‘Innate biases model’ to deny innate morality. Neither Prinz nor Sripada are fully valid in the innate morality controversy, however. In order to examine which argument is the most plausible, scholars of various field should cooperate together.
