We Can Make Room for SSRIs

摘要

Harris Wiseman's target article (2014) offers various persuasive arguments and examples about why we ought to be cautious regarding the use of SSRIs as moral enhancers. Wiseman cites Raki? (2014) and Chan and Harris (2011) as offering "interesting conceptual reflections" on Molly Crockett's research on the effects of serotonin on moral judgment, but notes that his present concern has to do with "matters of practical viability" (22). Not disputing the accuracy and importance of Wiseman's argument related to these matters, I nevertheless would like to take issue with two essential claims that Wiseman makes.
