The self is conceptualized in a multitude of ways in different scholarly fields; at the same time moral agency appears to presuppose a unitary conception of the self. This paper explores this tension by introducing ‘moral senses’ which inform the normative evaluations of a person. The moral senses are featured as innate dispositions, but they inevitably recruit discursive categorizations in order to function. These senses forward both an ‘individual self’, by experiencing a unitary body, mind and character, and a ‘social self’, that is similarly experienced as a body, a mind, and a character. This social self is enabled by the capacity to internalize other people's feelings and intentions and the need to have otherworldly explanations for observable reality. This integrative framework of moral senses provides an understanding that helps to address the challenge of moral heterogeneity and plurality.

自我意识：道德代理的综合框架

在不同的学术领域，自我以多种方式被概念化。同时，道德代理似乎以自我的统一概念为前提。本文通过引入“道德感”来探索这种张力，“道德感”为人的规范性评估提供信息。道德感是先天性格，但不可避免地要运用话语分类以发挥作用。这些感官通过体验统一的身体，思想和品格，既提供了“个体自我”，又通过身体，思想和品格经历了类似的“社会自我”。能够内化他人的感觉和意图的能力，以及对可观察到的现实需要超凡脱俗的解释的能力，使得这种社会自我得以实现。
