John Dewey’s analysis of the role of emotion in moral reasoning, presented in the later Ethics , led him to conclude that our development of moral reasoning should be less focused on the secondary interest of attention to ourselves or others, and attend to the more complete interests of the welfare and integrity of the social groups in which we participate. In that analysis, Dewey identified the essential role of empathic understanding in moral decisions, referred to by neuroscientists as social intelligence. Dewey’s discussion of the essential role of emotion in these decisions is further supported by research in neuroscience which has established that general intelligence is located in an area of the brain distinct from the area that supports social intelligence, our capacity for empathic experience. These findings suggest that the presence of individuals with developed social intelligence in the groups in which we participate provide increased opportunities for growth.

约翰杜威重构的增长观

约翰杜威对情感在道德推理中的作用的分析，在后来的伦理学中提出，使他得出结论，我们的道德推理的发展应该少关注关注自己或他人的次要利益，而要关注更完整的利益。我们参与的社会团体的福利和完整性。在该分析中，杜威确定了移情理解在道德决策中的重要作用，神经科学家将其称为社会智能。杜威关于情绪在这些决定中的重要作用的讨论得到了神经科学研究的进一步支持，该研究已经确定一般智力位于大脑的一个区域，不同于支持社会智力的区域，我们的移情体验能力。
