Moral Ecology

FIRE BORNE – Each generation has its own Moral Ecology

“Each society creates its own moral ecology, the moral ecology is the set of norms, assumptions, beliefs and habits of behavior and an institutionalized set of moral demands that emerge organically. Our moral ecology encourages to be a certain sort of person.… The moral ecology of a given moment is never unanimous; there are always rebels, critics and outsiders. But each moral climate is the collective response to the problems of the moments and it shapes the people who live within it.”

David Brooks, The Road To Character, page 26
