  Unlike any other field, the science of morality has drawn attention from an
extraordinarily diverse set of disciplines. An interdisciplinary research
program has formed in which economists, biologists, neuroscientists,
psychologists, and even philosophers have been eager to provide answers to
puzzling questions raised by the existence of human morality. Models and
simulations, for a variety of reasons, have played various important roles in
this endeavor. Their use, however, has sometimes been deemed as useless,
trivial and inadequate. The role of models in the science of morality has been
vastly underappreciated. This omission shall be remedied here, offering a much
more positive picture on the contributions modelers made to our understanding
of morality.
