ABSTRACT

There is a tendency for research on morality to focus on the individual, sometimes at the expense of context, using overly individual notions of the person. To some extent, this is an understandable consequence of disciplinary focus, and a scientific need to break phenomena down into manageable parts. I will advocate incorporating sociological perspectives for researching morality and cultivating states of moral character. This interdisciplinary approach is informed by a small group of scholars working in the spirit of virtue ethics philosophy while also adopting sociological perspectives. With a special focus on sociological habitus and philosophical hexis, improved treatment of social and contextual factors in morality research and moral education are the suggested applications for these important interdisciplinary advances.

摘要

道德研究倾向于关注个人，有时以牺牲背景为代价，过度使用个人的个人概念。在某种程度上，这是学科重点的一个可以理解的结果，也是将现象分解为可管理部分的科学需要。我会提倡结合社会学的观点来研究道德和培养道德品格。这种跨学科方法是由一小群以美德伦理哲学精神工作的学者提供的，同时也采用了社会学观点。特别关注社会学习惯和哲学规则，在道德研究和道德教育中改进对社会和背景因素的处理是这些重要的跨学科进展的建议应用。
