ABSTRACT

According to Habermas, Weber meant to locate a separate single sphere of morals alongside all other cultural spheres. All kinds of discourse ethics explore moral problems in this direction, though they can disagree in many things, first and foremost in matters of a fair or just procedure. Furthermore, in Christian ethics, love is the main virtue, and Leibniz insists that we call certain acts morally evil because they cause physical evil to other human beings. Preliminary epistemological or historical interrogation that might give a more solid foundation in science or philosophy of science keeps the same interrogator constantly outside the moral centre. Many philosophers have felt uneasy about the self-complacency of mainstream modern thinkers and their practice to subject moral enquiry under the authority of speculative reasoning. Philosophers began to decentre morals in the process of sincere reckoning with the modern historical condition.
