Moral Vision

English to Chinese Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
"Stephen is a committed Quaker with deep moral vision" (The Parable of the Sadhu).

Actually, I am not sure how to translate the whole phrase "deep moral vision."

I think deep means "characterized by profundity of feeling or quality" (Merriam-Webster). But what is "deep moral vision"?

Thanks,

Past Quakers were known to use thee as an ordinary pronoun, refuse to participate in war, wear plain dress, refuse to swear oaths, oppose slavery, and practise teetotalism.[20] Some Quakers founded banks and financial institutions, including Barclays, Lloyds, and Friends Provident; manufacturers including the footwear firm of C. & J. Clark and the big three British confectionery makers Cadbury, Rowntree and Fry; and philanthropic efforts, including abolition of slavery, prison reform, and social justice.[21] In 1947, Quakers represented by the British Friends Service Council and the American Friends Service Committee were awarded a Nobel Peace Prize.

@Asker: Sorry, I was confused by your typo. I think you meant “坚定”, not “鉴定” as typed. Yeah, I think that's a good alternative.
Note from asker:
Thanks, Kiet, I am not sure about "深刻." Normally, “道德观念” doesn't go with adjectives like "深刻”。I wonder whether we can translate "深刻“ as "鉴定" here.

Thank you! 但 “强烈” 不一定持久,“深刻” 有持久,不易改变的意思。
