What is morality? Most researchers working within Social Domain
Theory and the Social Reasoning Developmental model ground their
theories in Kantian moral philosophy which stimulated Piaget’s,
Kohlberg’s and Turiel’s psychological theories focusing on
reflection, evaluation, and interpretation of social interactions,
with morality providing a central focus. From this framework,
morality refers to interindividual treatment of others with
respect to justice, fairness, others’ welfare, equity, and rights.
In other traditions, from socialization theory to nativism to
contemporary moral psychology, prominent researchers have either
avoided definitions or outright refused to define morality. They
have argued, for instance, that since philosophers and ordinary
people disagree about what morality is, psychologists cannot or
should not define morality. Against this view, we have argued for
the necessity of defining morality, just as biologists have to
provide definitions for cells and planetary scientists provide
definitions of planets.
Questions about whether and how to define morality provoked
interest at the last SDT preconference in Salt Lake City. To give
the questions the time and attention they deserve, we are holding
an SDTIC meeting to address them. To start the conversation, we
will present our perspectives on whether and how to define
morality. The crux of the meeting will be to provide time for
everyone to join the conversation with questions, comments, and
additional arguments.
Together, we will reflect on what makes it important to define morality. We will identify both agreements and disagreements:
