The ideas proposed on this theoretical study have as an aim to amplify the perspectives of investigation about moral judges and values. After a critical reflection about theories that contributed with important concepts in Moral Psychology field, we made some notes that we think are very hopeful in this area using as theoretical and methodological reference the Theory of Organizing Models of Thinking. This theory detaches that only the operative cognitive resources arent enough to explain how the subject learns and judges the reality. In this perspective, we conclude as fundamental the role of the contents in the organization of mental representation related to moral judges and values.Downloads
