Abstract
This chapter concludes the argument that a relational sociology of morality is able to provide a coherent and dynamic picture of how moral phenomena are sustained, transmitted, and transformed in interactional practice. The arguments for a Meadian-based interactional relationalism are reaffirmed, as are the arguments for viewing morality predominantly in terms of everyday practice.
