Abstract
“Moral experience” is not a familiar pre-theoretical term. We understand, “I have a lot of babysitting experience” and “how did you enjoy your dining experience?” but not: “I have a lot of moral experience,” and “how did you enjoy your moral experience?” Nor is “moral experience” a familiar post-theoretical term. Whereas philosophers largely agree on what they mean by “perceptual experience”, “visual experience,” “illusory experience,” they have yet to converge on a shared theoretical understanding of “moral experience.” In this talk I sort things out by providing an improved job description for moral experience, and making a suggestion as to which conception of moral experience can best do the job.
