Every day, people make moral decisions, and perform actions based on those decisions. These occurrences’ quotidian nature can obscure the fact that many distinct processes must be successfully navigated for principled moral action to take place. Agents need to be sensitive to situational factors that call for moral consideration they need to be capable of reflecting on those features to arrive at a justifiable judgment about the proper course of action they need to possess moral motives that prioritise the outcome of their moral reflections and they need to possess character traits that empower them to follow through on their decision and actually perform the action. In some cases, moral agents can also need to possess a certain competence to achieve a morally successful outcome.
