“In a masterful integration of traditions within developmental science, cognitive science, biology,  and cultural anthropology, Narvaez and colleagues build a case for the Triune Ethical Meta Theory—a provocative new theory of moral development.   The volume provides readers with a thorough overview of the theory highlighting foundational work in neuroscience, research on early care, and existing models in moral psychology.  Complementing this description is a summary of the extensive empirical work generated by the model.  This book will undoubtedly influence how we view and study moral functioning.” (Steve Thoma, University Research Professor and Director, Center for the Study of Ethical Development, University of Alabama)

“Darcia Narvaez offers a brilliant and valuable new look at the nature of optimal moral development. Her triune ethics meta-theory is a much-needed shift away from moral theory grounded in self-interested protectionism. Focusingon ideals, Narvaez shows ways that scholars can return to studying and emphasizing optimal human moral developmental-- by attending to early development according to an evolutionary systems framing, by measuring a variety of moral mindsets, and by studying the supportive environments that encourage relational presence and communal imagination. The book will be a must-read for scholars and all others interested in the essential field of moral psychology.” (William Damon, Professor of Education at the Stanford Graduate School of Education, Director of the Stanford Center on Adolescence)
