Abstract

Moral criticism, or as the Bible puts it rebuke (tokhehah in Hebrew), is a necessary activity for social learning and improvement.1 Moral criticism is part of a give and take among individuals who must necessarily share, at least, a minimal set of core values, including most importantly respect for one another, a common ethical vocabulary, and a basic moral grammar. For moral criticism to take hold and to have any possibility of truly being effective there must already exist meaningful channels of communication. As the philosopher Michael Walzer has noted, “We do not have to discover the moral world because we have always lived there. We do not have to invent it because it has already been invented” (1987, p. 20).KeywordsMoral CriticismEasy QuestionInaugural AddressFinite GameMoral DialogueThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
