Go to course ↗

A Yale course taught by psychologist Paul Bloom that examines how people across cultures reason about morality in everyday life, touching on psychology and comparative cultural questions.

Commenters describe it as a psychology course that reads more like anthropology, with comparative culture questions they found engaging.

    I subscribed to this course. I also recommend Moralities of everyday life by Paul Bloom which I'm currently taking and it's great. A Beginner's Guide to Irrational Behavior[1] starts soon and from reviews it looks like a great course.

  2. Recommendsavyfain2020in “Ask HN: Top Coursera Courses?”

    I did "The Modern and the Postmodern" last year, and really enjoyed it without doing the essays/peer review. Curiously I'm now working through Mehrling's course, too.

    Another one I'd recommend if you enjoyed those two, although in a very different vein is Bloom's Moralities of Everyday Life, which is supposedly a psychology course, but really goes into comparative culture questions that IMO make it closer to an anthropology course. https://www.coursera.org/learn/moralities
