Abstract
Issues of morality and social solidarity have been at the root of sociological thought since its inception (Hodgkiss 2013), though interest in these core issues diminished in the post-World War II period. The last decade or so have seen a renewed focus on these issues (Hitlin and Vaisey 2013; Smith 2003), including a Handbook of the Sociology of Morality (Hitlin and Vaisey 2010) and a number of prominent publications (e.g., Abend 2008; Abend 2011; Abend 2012; Black 2011; Fourcade and Healy 2007; Ignatow 2009; Lukes 2008; Stets and Carter 2012; Vaisey 2007; Vaisey 2009; Winchester 2008). The sociological resurgence in the topic follows on the heels of an increased focus on morality within psychology (Graham et al. 2011; Haidt 2001; Haidt 2008; Narvez 2010; Skitka and Bauman 2008) and neuroscience (Damasio 2003; Greene and Haidt 2002).
