The participatory dimension of individual responsibility

Behav Brain Sci. 2018 Jan:41:e39. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X17000644.

Abstract

Collaborativism is the view that moral reasoning is better when it is socially embedded. We propose that, when people take part in dialogic exchanges, they align in ways that open up novel avenues for sharing values and rationality criteria and, therefore, for exercising responsible agency. The hypothesis that collaborative interactions unfold through the alignment of minds and bodies helps articulate Doris's participatory approach to morality.
