Abstract: What is it to engage in moral inquiry? The received wisdom is that it is to answer moral questions – that is, questions about what we ought to do. Someone has moral expertise to the extent to which she is reliable at arriving at true answers to those questions. Philosophical disagreements have focused on what it takes to arrive at right answers: is it a matter of being able to weigh reasons, something more akin to a perceptual capacity, or the ability to give explanations? These debates leave a crucial part of moral inquiry unexplored: namely how we come up with moral questions in the first place. This paper examines the asking-questions part of moral inquiry and what it tells us about moral expertise.
