“Il Cervello Morale” (The Moral Brain), a book written by Chiara Lucifora and Carmelo Mario Vicario and published by Franco Angeli in 2023, serves as a foundation for a new reflection on morality and freedom of choice. Among the various topics addressed in the volume, one particularly interesting theme is moral conscience, which manifests itself in both reasoning and behaviour, and is examined through disciplines such as philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, and even artificial intelligence.
