Document Type : Original Article

Abstract

The debate of moral foundations is one of the important issues in the sphere of ethics. So, the authority of reason or religion for moral values has always been debated. The article shows that the moral values have the moral authority. This view is supported by the Bible and Christian theologians. In fact, Bible's values are the same values of reason. This interpretation of autonomy can be considered the line between Kant's theory and the theory of the divine. The author believes that the belief in the moral autonomy can provide non-partisan platform for dialogue between cultures and religions.
