Yale Infant Mental Health• Moral Life of Babies by Paul Bloom (2010) (Psychology Professor at Yale)
• Babies possess certain moral foundations — the capacity and willingness to judge the actions of others, some sense of justice, gut responses to altruism and nastiness. Regardless of how smart we are, if we didn’t start with this basic apparatus, we would be nothing more than amoral agents, ruthlessly driven to pursue our self-interest.
