moral vision
Sense of right
Moral vision is the capacity to perceive ethical dimensions in situations and imagine how things ought to be.
It suggests seeing beyond surface appearances to underlying questions of right and wrong, justice and injustice.
A leader with moral vision recognizes systemic problems others overlook and articulates a path toward something better: Her moral vision shaped the civil rights movement.
The term implies both clarity about values and the ability to inspire others toward them.
