Resumen

Este artículo aborda una cuestión importante que ha sido comúnmente debatida en la psicología moral, a saber, las implicaciones normativas y metaéticas de nuestras diferentes respuestas intuitivas a dilemas moralmente indistintos. El ejemplo más destacado de la asimetría en nuestras respuestas es que la gente suele aceptar intuitivamente halar y niega empujar como una forma moralmente permisible de sacrificar a un inocente para salvar a más personas inocentes. Joshua Greene atribuye nuestras respuestas negativas a las acciones que implican un daño “cercano y personal” a nuestro pasado evolutivo y argumenta que esto socava el poder normativo de los juicios deontológicos. Rechazo el argumento de Greene argumentando que nuestras intuiciones morales teóricas, a diferencia de las concretas y de nivel medio, son independientes de la influencia evolutiva directa porque son el producto de un razonamiento moral autónomo (independiente de los genes). A continuación, explico cómo las intuiciones teóricas consecuencialistas y deontológicas, que nos permiten hacer importantes distinciones morales y captar hechos morales objetivos, son producidas por el ejercicio del razonamiento moral autónomo y el proceso de evolución cultural. Mi conclusión será que Greene no está justificado en su afirmación de que la deontología es normativamente inferior al consecuencialismo.
