Abstract: Abstract Nowadays, scientists are not too fond of “moral societies.” Moralizing as such tends to arouse suspicion, for it often takes place for reasons that are not mentioned explicitly. Also, societies with a moralizing agenda are often sponsored by wealthy business executives, a class with which many intellectuals do not want to be associated.
