Non-invasive means of moral improvement – a critical review of selected methods

Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of this paper is to underline the importance of non-invasive methods of moral improvement. I defend the thesis that non-invasive stimulation of human morality should not be concerned as outdated. Among different possible methods discussed nowadays, these that do not require any invasive intervention into neural system should remain a valuable part of the discussion about moral enhancement. Two means of non-invasive ways to stimulate morality and their expected effects are proposed in this paper. The first one is derived from the practice of involving horses in the process of resocialization and development of morally desirable traits. The second one is based on the idea of drama-based interventions and its potential of increasing the abilities of perspective taking and noticing morally relevant aspects of situations in the participants.
