Emmanuel Katongole defends Hauerwas's stance, asserting that it aims to transcend the limitations of the Kantian moral tradition. This perspective emphasizes a socially and historically grounded understanding of morality, countering the formal and ahistorical approaches prevalent in moral philosophy, and seeks to better reflect our experiences as moral agents.
