| Jul 10 at 5:28 | comment | added | Dcleve | @gs the OP is not very clear about what they are asking about, but I took the series: "moral knowledge, beliefs, and motivation" to be three different stages of thinking. The moral knowledge of what brings joy and sorrow to an individual, and that one should care about this, is the lowest tier. The moral value of empathy or vindictiveness is the second, and then acting to cause joy or sorrow is the 3rd. Knowledge that others advocate for empathy not vindictiveness, and one is on the wrong side of what is generally considered moral, rarely changes behavior. Agents, can rationalize evil. | |

If moral knowledge is used by the OP in the sense meant in e.g. SEP, it's knowing facts about morality, not facts about circumstances pertinent to morally salient action. Knowing you care deeply about your car is not moral knowledge; that would be knowing that keying your car is bad because you care deeply about your car. | |
