This book presents an evolutionary-inspired model to address moral commitment problems or failures to cooperate. It explores how individuals can overcome psychologically selfish tendencies, focusing on the role of moral emotions and personal moral norms in promoting cooperation. The book examines key emotions, such as moral indignation and anticipated guilt, along with important precursors like empathy and altruistic tendencies.

It combines evolutionary theorizing with insights from the social sciences, offering a genuine integrative perspective on cooperation and moral behavior.
