Moral Disengagement: Significance
Moral Disengagement: Significance
[email protected]
In moral disengagement there is anticipation of self-inflicted punishment
which triggers reasoning
that influences moral judgements and actions.
‘basic values are [...] outside certain practices of justification [...] basic values seem to be implemented in an emotional way’ (Prinz, 2007, p. 32).
‘moral reasoning is [...] usually engaged in after a moral judgment is made, in which a person searches for arguments that will support an already-made judgment’ (Haidt & Bjorklund, 2008, p. 189).
Moral judgements are not ‘the conclusions of explicitly represented syllogisms, one or more premises of which are moral principles, that ordinary folk can articulate’ (Dwyer, 2009, p. 294).
Characteristically deontological judgments are preferentially supported by automatic emotional [processes], while characteristically consequentialist judgments are preferentially supported by conscious reasoning and allied processes of cognitive control’ (Greene, 2014, p. 699)
puzzle
Why are moral judgements sometimes, but not always, a consequence of reasoning from known principles?
