This chapter deals with the moral capacities that human persons possess. These include the competency to intersubjectivity, the ability to experience moral emotions such as empathy, love, guilt and shame, the cognitive competency to emulate and learn, and the self-directional capacity to curb moods, drives and desires by employing forms of moral self-regulation. These capacities indicate that human morality is not merely a social construction, but that human beings share basic ‘universal’ and ‘foundational’ moral intuitions that makes moral dialogue and social cooperation possible. At the same time, human nature is flawed. Mental disorders may lead into pathological forms of behaviour, and humans do possess the ability to supress moral emotions, to rationalize wrong behaviour and to morally disengage.
