Moral conflict—I challenge group accounts of moral conflict in moral psychology. They often assume a reactive conception of moral agency, highlighting how individuals are influenced by the moral education received from communities and disagree with those from different communities. By introducing a responsive conception to distinguish individuals, especially members of the same groups, I show how the agential processes underlying opinion formation offer a new ground for grouping individuals and examining the nature of moral disagreement.

Moral progress–Reframing history-based accounts of moral progress in psychological terms, I highlight moral progress–as historical processes–should be understood as a battle between different thinking styles. I argue that transformative actions are driven by a self-limiting moral thinking, instead of a thinking style associated with a liberating effect. This new perspective reorients individuals within society, prompting a reflection on the true goal of moral change.
