Moral Roleplaying and Gamification of the Moral Space
Abstract
ABSTRACT This article, based on multilevel social contract theory, advances a novel notion of moral agency for morally pluralistic societies. The notion considers moral agency to be not only socially embedded, modular, and fluid but also at times, to require the adoption of certain ends, at least temporarily, for successful social cooperation. Engaging in such “moral roleplaying,” and, in this sense, gamifying the social moral space, allows for moral differentiation and discourse, facilitating the reconciliation of conflicting moral directives and the construction of a unified moral self despite deep moral conflict.
