Why our institutions are seen as morally corrosive

.

The institutions of modernity often question and experiment with the way activities are assigned to moral spheres.

•  Market economies tend to put everything up for sale. 
• Science amoralizes the world by seeking to understand phenomena rather than pass judgment on them. 
• Secular philosophy is in the business of scrutinizing all beliefs, including those entrenched by authority and tradition. 
• It’s not surprising that these institutions are often seen to be morally corrosive.
