Abstract
Because moral perception plays an essential role in guiding morally respons ible behaviour, agents have a responsibility to develop their capacities in this area. There are several strategies agents can (and should) pursue in order to improve their skills at moral perception. I appeal to insights der ived from the work of feminist epistomologists and philosophers of science to argue that feminist approaches to multiculturalism are particularly valu able tools for improving moral perception.
