Morality in context is a timely topic. A debate between
philosophers and social scientists is a good way to approach it.
Why is there such a booming interest in morality and why does it
focus on context? One starting point is the change in the
sociostructural and sociocultural conditions of modern societies.
This involves change in the empirical conditions of moral action
and in the social demand on morality.
As these changes are accounted for and analyzed in the social
sciences, new perspectives emerge that give rise to new ways of
framing issues and problems. These problems are best addressed by
way of cooperation between philosophers and social scientists. As
Habermas (1990) has pointed out in a much cited paper, philosophers
depend on social science to fill in the data they require to answer
the questions raised by philosophy in its "placeholder" function.
The reverse also holds true: Social science needs the conceptual
clarifications that philosophy can provide. With respect to
morality, such mutual interchanges are of particular importance the
contributions to this book show convincingly.
