Abstract

… whether the cognitive content of a morality of equal respect and solidaristic responsibility for everybody can still be justified after the collapse of its religious foundation. … how much of the original intuitions a discourse ethics salvages in the disenchanted universe of post-metaphysical justification and in what sense one can still speak of the cognitive validity of moral judgments and positions. … whether the content of a morality that results from the rational reconstruction of traditional, religious intuition remains bound, in spite of its procedural character, to its original context.1
