right-mindedness

Sound ethical judgment

Right-mindedness is the quality of having sound judgment and morally correct thinking.

The term implies alignment with conventional standards of reason and ethics: Her right-mindedness made her a trusted advisor.

It can carry a slightly self-satisfied tone when used to describe one's own views, suggesting the speaker considers their position obviously correct.
