Books by Paul Bloom

Paul Bloom is a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto and emeritus professor at Yale, where he founded the infant cognition lab. His previous books include Just Babies, How Pleasure Works, and The Sweet Spot. Bloom writes regularly for the Atlantic and has received the Lex Hixon Prize for Teaching Excellence in the Social Sciences. His work focuses on the psychology of morality, pleasure, and the ways intuition and reason interact in everyday life. Against Empathy is his most explicitly normative book, applying the empirical findings of his earlier work to a direct argument about moral priorities.
