  <!-- OVERVIEW -->
  <h2 class="section" id="overview">Overview</h2>
  <p>
    Despite careful prompting, current large language models often generate morally problematic responses. While prior work has explored ways to enhance moral reasoning in LLMs, achieving generalized moral reasoning remains an open challenge.
    We propose a pragmatic inference–based approach grounded in <strong>Moral Foundations Theory</strong> that establishes <strong>metapragmatic links</strong> between moral situations and social norms, enabling generalized moral reasoning.
  </p>
  <p>
    We further adapt this moral reasoning capability into a two-stage <strong>diagnose-and-correct</strong> framework for real-world moral violations, demonstrating strong performance in correcting explicitly immoral, implicitly problematic, and socially biased responses.
  </p>
  <p>We release six open-source models: two for diagnose-and-correct of jailbreak attempts, two for diagnose-and-correct of explicit toxicity, and two for diagnose-and-correct of social bias.</p>

  <!-- MFT -->
  <h2 class="section" id="mft">Moral Foundations Theory</h2>
  <p>Our technical solution is grounded in <strong>Moral Foundations Theory (MFT)</strong>, which identifies six universal moral intuitions that underpin human ethical judgments:</p>
  <div class="mft-grid">
    <div class="mft-card care"><h3>🌱 Care</h3><p>Wanting someone or something to be safe, healthy, and happy.</p></div>
    <div class="mft-card fair"><h3>⚖️ Fairness</h3><p>Wanting to see individuals or groups treated equally or equitably.</p></div>
    <div class="mft-card lib"><h3>🗽 Liberty</h3><p>Wanting people to be free to make their own decisions.</p></div>
    <div class="mft-card loyal"><h3>🤝 Loyalty</h3><p>Wanting unity and seeing people keep promises to an in-group.</p></div>
    <div class="mft-card auth"><h3>👑 Authority</h3><p>Wanting to respect social roles, duties, privacy, peace, and order.</p></div>
    <div class="mft-card sanc"><h3>✨ Sanctity</h3><p>Wanting people and things to be clean, pure, innocent, and holy.</p></div>

        <strong>Inference format:</strong> the model only receives the context and reply as input.
        The moral diagnosis (which MFT foundations are violated and why) and the corrected response
        are generated autoregressively — the model is never given a gold label at inference time.
