Puritanical Morality and the Scaffolded Evolution of Self-Control.
[Preprint]
Abstract
There is a puzzle in reconciling the widespread presence of puritanical norms condemning harmless pleasures with the theory that morality evolved to reap the benefits of cooperation. Here, we draw on the work of several philosophers to support the argument by Fitouchi et al. (2022) that these norms evolved to facilitate and scaffold self-control for the sake of cooperation.
