Arguing against the conception of ethics as a body of knowledge, Böhme defines morality as a matter of ‘serious questions'. In the case of an individual, a serious question is one that determines that person's mode of living. In the case of society, a serious question is one that shapes our social norms.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eEthics in Context\u003c\/i\u003e, Böhme explores the key areas of moral living and moral discourse.
