Reasoning is an important aspect of judgement. The role of intuitive versus rational
reasoning in arriving at moral judgement has been a debated issue. This paper
aims at documenting the current status of research in his debate. Early literature in
the field of moral reasoning is briefly presented. The relative importance of intuition
and reasoning in moral judgement is discussed, substantiated by theoretical
premises and empirical works. The dearth of literature in moral reasoning in India
is emphasised and scope for further research is highlighted.
