Summary:
An interesting study where the researchers demonstrate that intuition and emotion play a role in our reasoning when students are confronted with moral dilemmas. The authors suggest that incorporating intuition and emotion into moral reflection is a rather new idea in the educational world, where rational reasoning is preferred.
