Summary

We sometimes neglect questions about what is good for us, such as the question of whether our conscience at times shows moral goodness in intentional attitudes or actions toward us as persons. We thus can fail to notice some intentional goodness in our lives and how it functions toward us. We shall examine how our neglecting some moral questions restricts our understanding and appreciation of intentional goodness in our lives. We shall see, however, that a suitably responsive attitude to moral values and duties can shed new light on vital questions about the nature of moral goodness and life’s meaning. Such an attitude, involving self-adaptive attention to experienced goodness, can also figure in a person’s commitment to a role for a good God in human moral experience and life. We may think of moral experience generally as awareness of, or attention-attraction by, factors bearing directly on righteousness or unrighteousness.
