Kritik Der Moralisierung

This German-language book begins with a familiar observation: topics labelled as ethical appear more and more often in public debate, and ethics is being anchored across the social professions. The authors argue that this calls for a closer look at what the terms ethics and morality actually mean.

The contributions set out definitions of ethics and morality, and take a critical look at practices of moralisation. The subtitle names three strands: theoretical foundations, a critique of discourse, and clarifications for professional practice.

The book will interest students and practitioners in the social professions, as well as researchers who work on ethics and moral discourse.
