我们认为，为自己和他人的利益而生活的能力起源于生命的定义属性。这些导致了两种认知模式;专注于满足紧迫需求的应对模式和旨在实现紧迫需求发生频率较低的世界的共同创造模式。我们使用了保守变化法则（Rule of Conservative Changes）--即新功能只能以进化中较老但高度稳定的功能为基础--来预测这两种模式的相互作用定义了心理学中与道德行为相关的一些核心功能。我们探索这一预测与五个例子反映不同的理论方法，人类认知和行动选择。我们的结论与观察，科学是目前占主导地位的应对模式，共同创造模式的好处可能是必要的，以产生现实的前景，在现代综合科学的头脑。
We argue that the capacity to live life to the benefit of self and others originates in the defining properties of life. These lead to two modes of cognition; the coping mode that is preoccupied with the satisfaction of pressing needs and the co-creation mode that aims at the realization of a world where pressing needs occur less frequently. We have used the Rule of Conservative Changes - stating that new functions can only scaffold on evolutionary older, yet highly stable functions - to predict that the interplay of these two modes define a number of core functions in psychology associated with moral behavior. We explore this prediction with five examples reflecting different theoretical approaches to human cognition and action selection. We conclude the paper with the observation that science is currently dominated by the coping mode and that the benefits of the co-creation mode may be necessary to generate realistic prospects for a modern synthesis in the sciences of the mind.
