Abstract
Abstract A view of interpersonal morality is set out, derived in large part from psychotherapeutic practice. The key concept is that of giving free attention to the subjectivity of another, leading to the equation: free attention + free attention = moral space. Some of the historical and societal implications are explored and it is suggested that the problem of social fabric emerges as more important than that of social justice. The view presented here stands in contrast to much of Western moralism, with its tendency to create ‘grand narratives’ about the right and the good; the universalistic character of such accounts has been drastically called in question by some of the theorists of postmodernism.
