ABSTRACT
This chapter defends a conception of moral perception that can ground moral knowledge without positing a special mental faculty for detecting moral properties. On the view being proposed, it is possible to perceive moral properties visually, auditorially, or tactually. Moral properties, on this view, are grounded in base properties, and thus one perceives a moral property by perceiving the base properties that ground it. The chapter explains how in moral perception one’s moral sensibility is phenomenally integrated with ordinary perception of properties to yield a “integrationist theory of moral perception.”
