„A couple of things. First thing. Much recent research has looked at people’s moral judgments, beliefs, values, and moral decision-making. Broader arguments and conclusions are often about morality, what morality is, how morality works. Hasn’t something gone awry here? What might this research be losing sight of? Second thing. Social scientists of morality may set out to address descriptive empirical questions. They may set out to address explanatory empirical questions. I think they should also set out to address what-makes-it-possible empirical questions. But what on earth are these questions? Can they be empirically addressed at all? What do they have to do with philosophers’ transcendental arguments and conditions of possibility? Third thing. I’m interested in what makes morality possible. You may call it “moral background” stuff or you may call it something else. Is this a fruitful line of sociological investigation? Or should it be committed to the flames? “ (Prof. Gabriel Abend)
