<p style="margin-top:8px; margin-bottom:8px"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""><span arial="" lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:">Research in moral sociology involves analyzing the moral dimensions of social facts. However, this gives rise to the question of which moral and which moral system our analysis is aimed at. In seeking to answer these questions, the sociologist is faced with a classic problem in the human and social sciences, which involves oscillating between a descriptive approach adopting &lsquo;axiological neutrality&rsquo; and having the aim of describing being and the normative approach which strives to judge what should be. Therefore, I propose a reflection on the empirical study of morality based on moral responsibility among young converts to Islam in France. This reflection leads to the deployment of an approach specific to our field to overcome the various normative obstacles that the researcher encounters while reporting on moral facts in a given population.</span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-top:8px; margin-bottom:8px"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""><span arial="" style="font-family:">La recherche en sociologie morale consiste &agrave; analyser les dimensions morales dans des faits sociaux Cependant, la question qui se pose est de savoir quelle morale et quel syst&egrave;me moral notre analyse vise ?

Dans cette optique, nous proposons &agrave; partir de notre terrain sur la responsabilit&eacute; morale aupr&egrave;s de jeunes convertis &agrave; l&rsquo;islam une r&eacute;flexion sur l&rsquo;&eacute;tude empirique de la morale. Cette r&eacute;flexion nous conduit &agrave; d&eacute;ployer une approche propre &agrave; notre terrain pour enfin surmonter les diff&eacute;rents obstacles normatifs que rencontre le chercheur pour rendre compte de fait moral chez une population donn&eacute;e.</span></span></span></p>
