Sometimes discussing alignments gets people to arguing. The D&D alignment system is just coherent enough and just applicable enough to real life to become a debatable ethical philosophical theory or psychological theory, but not complex enough to be taken seriously in academia. But, if anyone knows of a successful academic research paper or article published about the D&D alignments, I'd love to read that, especially at the graduate or post-graduate level.

Here's a recent anthology that's published by an academic press and written by professional philosophers: http://www.opencourtbooks.com/books_n/dungeons.htm

It looks really interesting, and it's currently on discount!

Google Books has it on preview: http://books.google.com/books?id=Kr2EJHnrC4MC&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false

The first part of the book deals specifically with D&D alignment.

@belgarathmth true neutrality is at the center of the chart. A person is true neutral when all those traits have equal influences. I think of each trait having a "pull" that moves a slider around on the chart and the more strongly you conform to a trait the stronger the "pull"
