“…In undertaking this intellectual endeavor over the past decade or so, sociologists investigated a number of important problems, rendering the new sociology of morality to be quite diverse thematically: ranging from conceptual issues (Abend 2011 ; Tavory 2011 ) and the role of morality in social action (Vaisey 2009 ) to rethinking the links of moral ideas to such phenomena as markets (Fourcade and Healy 2007 ), social class (Sayer 2010 ), religion (Bader and Finke 2010 ), and identity (Stets and Carter 2011 ). However, despite these and other interesting lines of scholarly inquiry, research on business ethics is largely absent from the current agenda in the sociology of morality.…”

Over the last decade, scholars across the wide spectrum of the discipline of sociology have started to reengage with questions on morality and moral phenomena. The continued wave of research in this field, which has come to be known as the new sociology of morality, is a lively research program that has several common grounds with scholarship in the field of business ethics. The aim of this thematic symposium is to open constructive dialogues between these two areas of study. In this introductory essay, we briefly present the project of the new sociology of morality and discuss its relevance for business ethics. We also review the contributions to this thematic symposium and identify four specific domains where future research can contribute to fruitful dialogues between the two fields. Keywords Business ethics • Context • Morality • New sociology of morality • Sociology Moral phenomena-i.e. those related to evaluations of actions, actors, norms, and practices as right or wrong, good or bad, desirable or undesirable-constitute the primary sphere of interest for many disciplines and fields within cognitive, behavioral, and social sciences. While the most general explanations of human moral capacity are usually

“…One consistent finding of this research involves sexual behavior among young people: those who are highly religious tend to delay sexual initiation, have fewer sexual partners, and are more likely to be monogamous; even though they are, in general, as likely to engage in sex as other youths (Bader and Finke, 2010;Regnerus, 2007).

“…More broadly, the differences in the use of Creator and Co‐Creator schemas for disease RGTs across religious traditions suggest that liberal and conservative traditions promulgate different conceptions of God. Indeed, some scholars argue that beliefs about God are associated with moral attitudes (Froese and Bader , ), with more active and immanent views of God leading to greater concern about usurping God's will (Bader and Finke ; Stark ). Such conceptions of God matter in relationship to how a respondent views RGTs.…”

Moral Schemas in Articulation and Intuition: How Religious People Evaluate Human Reproductive Genetic Technologies

et al. 2017

As new and more effective human reproductive genetic technologies (RGTs) rapidly develop, religious voices remain an important part of public discussion about the moral standing of such technologies. Here, we compare how individuals from different religious traditions evaluate disease RGTs (detecting genetic diseases in vitro) when compared to enhancement RGTs, allowing parents to select features of a child. Findings are gleaned from analysis of 270 interviews with individuals from 23 Christian, Muslim, and Jewish religious organizations, with supporting data from a national survey of more than 10,000 Americans. We find that respondents engage in clearly defined discursive moral reasoning to evaluate the propriety of disease RGTs while moral intuitions manifest themselves in responses to enhancement RGTs. We argue that schemas provide resources for moral discourses while also shaping moral intuitions expressed through emotions. Our results have implications for how religious people respond to new technologies when their institutional and denominational structures do not have readily discernable moral frameworks to guide responses.
