Exploring the complexities of moral decision-making, this chapter delves into the psychology behind moral intuitions and the different ways we address moral problems. It discusses the two modes of brain function, automatic and manual, and how understanding this distinction helps in solving moral dilemmas. The chapter also examines the contrast between sacrificing one person for the greater good in trolley dilemmas versus the moral wrongness of sacrificing one person in cases like the footbridge dilemma.
