For the second part of our "Winter of Morality" series, Dr. Galen
examines the psychological factors that make a deontological
(rule-based) approach to morality more appealing to most religious
people than a consequentialist approach. Meta-ethical questions
aside, does adopting a deontological perspective over a utilitarian
ethic actually make any difference in real-world measures of moral
behavior? According to new studies it might. Fundamentalists, for
example, tend to adhere rigidly to a rule-based moral code and in
some instances may act on their convictions more than their liberal
counterparts. But as you've guessed, the devil is always in the
details. Also on this episode: the Pope is Time's person of the
year, the ACLU sues Catholic Bishops and a Polyatheism segment
delves into the bizarre and adorable beasts of Japanese mythology.
