Morality isn’t what you see changing, behaviors are what changes, as well as publicly stated values. You seem to be conflating them. The fact that changing circumstances are changing people’s behavior should not surprise anyone. Whether there really is some deeper change in people’s morality is hard to tell. But I suggest that if you lived in, e.g. a slave society, for a few years, you’d adapt to their “immoral” state pretty well.
recent changes in moral attitudes [are not well explained] by progress in moral reasoning.
Of course not, that’s ridiculous. Does someone actually believe that? It sounds like a strawman. What does “progress in moral reasoning” even mean?
