How Are Moral Conversions Possible?

Wong, D

I examine three cases of moral conversion: the fictional case of the Staasi agent in East Germany as depicted in the film, "The Lives of Others," Oskar Schindler, and a leader of the Ku Klux Klan who joined with a militant black activist in the effort to desegregate schools in North Carolina. I weave reflections on these people with theoretical and empirical work on the nature of emotion and its relation to cognitive capacities to formulate some speculations on the nature of moral conversion.
