The world we live in is constantly changing. Climate change, transforming gender conceptions, emerging issues of food consumption, novel forms of family life and technological developments are altering central areas of our forms of life. This raises questions of how to cope with and understand the moral changes implicit in such alterations. This volume is the first to address moral change as such. It brings together anthropologists and philosophers to discuss how to study and theorize the change of norms, concepts, emotions, moral frameworks and forms of personhood.

Cecilie Eriksen is special consultant at National Center of Ethics, The Ministry of Health, Denmark. She is the author of Moral Change – Dynamics, Structure and Normativity (Palgrave Macmillan, 2020). She has further published on Wittgenstein and Løgstrup as well as co-edited and contributed to volumes on topics such as law and legitimacy, modern work life, and contextual ethics.
