520 |a This paper contributes to the discussion on how morality may be uncertain when life orientation changes, for instance, from religious belief to spirituality. Accepting the &#8216;subjectivation&#8217; thesis as a key concept in understanding the contemporary world, the spiritual realm is treated as a site on which the subjective turn has made a tremendous impact. That turn is investigated particularly in a comparison between &#8220;subjective-life&#8222; spirituality and &#8220;life-as&#8222; religion. Then, this paper asks what happens to morality when people&#8217;s religious belief disappears, changes, or evolves into spiritual experience. Educational practices are also viewed as a resonant field where the subjective turn has impacted on morality. The context of this paper refers to the subjective turn, as explained by <i>The Spiritual Revolution: Why Religion is Giving Way to Spirituality</i>. Then, the comparison of &#8220;life-as&#8222; and &#8220;subjective-life&#8222; is expressed according to their diverse values. Finally, the conclusion deals with the crucial points of morality in subjective life. In this regard, it is stressed that &#8216;subjectivation&#8217; is a feature of our time, and presenting a remarkable challenge in the realm of values. Since their orientations are different, &#8216;subjective-lives&#8217; have a different disposition in morality than the mode of &#8220;life-as&#8222;. Although it is impossible to generalize concerning whether or not spirituality is moral, nevertheless, it is expected that there will be challenges for religious education when dealing with spirituality.
