This book discusses outcomes of a study by the National Institute of Mental Health, Czech Republic, examining moral integrity in the post-communist Czech-speaking environment. Chapters map the history of the Euro-Atlantic ethical disciplines from moral philosophy and psychology to evolutionary neuroscience and socio-biology. The authors emphasize the biological and social conditionality of ethics and call for greater differentiation of both research and applied psychological standards in today’s globalised world. Using a non-European ethical system – Theravada Buddhism – as a case study, the authors explore the differences in English and Czech interpretations of the religion. They analyse cognitive styles and language as central variables in formatting and interpreting moral values, with important consequences for cultural transferability of psychological instruments. This book will appeal to academics and other specialists in psychology, psychiatry, sociology and related fields, as well as to readers interested in the psychology of ethics.

Kniha o pravdě a lži mezi dvěma lidmi vznikla neobvyklým způsobem. Oba autoři jsou odborníky "přes lidskou duši a mezilidské vztahy". Jeden pracuje s tím, co je mezi lidmi běžné a obvyklé, v čem se většina lidí může poznat. Druhý se denně zabývá tím, co je neobvyklé až bizarní. Jeden je muž, druhý žena. Spojením obvyklého a neobvyklého, mužského a ženského, obecného a zvláštního vznikla publikace zaměřená na míru a hranice pravdomluvnosti v partnerství. Čtenář má zde šanci naučit se rozpoznávat různé typy lží a klamání v partnerském vztahu, a to jak v podobě vztah upevňující, tak v podobě soužití rozbíjející. Stranou nezůstanou ani polopravdy, manipulace, předstírání, přetvářka, lest, nařčení, zatajování.
