Nora Hämäläinen is docent and university researcher at the University of Helsinki and the author of Literature and Moral Theory (Bloomsbury, 2015) and Descriptive Ethics: What does Moral Philosophy Know about Morality (Palgrave Macmillan, 2016).

The world we live in is constantly changing. Climate change, transforming gender conceptions, emerging issues of food consumption, novel forms of family life and technological developments are altering central areas of our forms of life. This raises questions of how to cope with and understand the moral changes implicit in such alterations. This volume is the first to address moral change as such. It brings together anthropologists and philosophers to discuss how to study and theorize the change of norms, concepts, emotions, moral frameworks and forms of personhood.
