Moral Polyphony: Reconstructing Moral Phylosophy Beyond Rawls, Habernas, and Kohlberg

This section covers two main categories: (a) primary reference which is a theoretical pillar in the comparison and reconstruction of the framework of morality, and (b) supplementary references which broadens the context with cross-disciplinary, local-global and transcendental approaches.

a. Primary Reference

1. John Rawls

A Theory of Justice (1971). The concept of justice as fairness and "original position" is used as a basis for reviewing moral universalism and the challenges of pluralism within the SMH framework.

1. Jrgen Habermas

Moral Consciousness and Communicative Action (1983). Relevant in assessing the limits of moral deliberation through communicative rationality and how SMH opens up space for "non-communicative morality" such as spiritual intuition or ecological awareness.

1. Lawrence Kohlberg

Essays on Moral Development, Vol. I: The Philosophy of Moral Development (1981). Used as a starting point for criticism of the linearity of moral stages and contrasted with the polyphony and value conflict approaches in SMH.

1. Antonio Gramsci

Selections from the Prison Notebooks (1971). It is necessary to understand how hegemonic morals are constructed through cultural and institutional power, relevant to Layers 3 and 4 in the SMH.

1. Michel Foucault
