Understanding the psychological forces that underpin human interactions is a necessary step to knowing how to improve those interactions. Comprehending the complex interplay of emotions and moral judgements lying behind decision-making in the social sphere will help explain such things as corruption, risk-taking, domestic violence, and political affiliation. Such knowledge can guide the design of effective social policy, and is vital for a realistic educational strategy. This project will strengthen Australia's excellent reputation in philosophy, bring here leading scholars from diverse fields, build international research networks, and in particular forge an ongoing partnership between the ANU and the California Institute of Technology.

了解支撑人类互动的心理力量是了解如何改善这些互动的必要步骤。理解社会领域决策背后的情感和道德判断之间的复杂相互作用，将有助于解释腐败、冒险、家庭暴力和政治派别等问题。这些知识可以指导有效的社会政策的设计，并对现实的教育战略至关重要。该项目将加强澳大利亚在哲学方面的卓越声誉，吸引来自不同领域的顶尖学者来到这里，建立国际研究网络，特别是在ANU和加州理工学院之间建立持续的合作伙伴关系。
