ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the author is interested in moral knowledge that is inherently connected with doing, refraining and undergoing. To contribute to a conception of empirically grounded moral theology in which practices are acknowledged as find-spots of moral knowledge, he picks up Charles Taylor’s ideas about strong evaluation, qualitative distinctions and goods as they are interpreted and systemically presented by Arto Laitinen, and goes into a distinction made by early twentieth-century value-theorists between special moral values and conditional basic values. Finally, he proposes a syntaxis of goods and the concept of configured goods.
