The concept summary of the Tianxia III Conference-A Minimalist Morality states that a “shared and practicable morality” is “sorely needed at a planetary scale” to cope with “apocalyptic times in which the pandemic is ravaging humanity, and extreme weather events have become the new normal.” This paper argues that the moralization of health and climate crises in media and politics has not increased the ability of world society to manage these problems more effectively. Based on Daoist philosophy and contemporary social systems theory, the paper proposes that the contrary is the case: Due to the complexity of world society and the nature of moral communication, the moral framing of health and climate issues does not bring about social consensus but creates further divisions. Instead of trying to identify a “minimal shared morality,” a Daoism-inspired approach aims at minimizing moral communication to reduce and resolve conflicts. Rather than striving for a minimalist morality, it advocates to minimalize morality so that it becomes amoral.
