Abstract
We present a model of moral judgment, Charon, which addsto previous models several factors that have been shown toinfluence moral judgment: 1) a more sophisticated account ofprior mental state, 2) imagination, 3) empathy, 4) thefeedback process between emotion and reason, 5) self-interest, and 6) self-control. We discuss previous classes ofmodels and demonstrate Charon’s extended explanatorypower with a focus on psychopathy and autism.
