Spanish term or phrase: montar

Supongo que el autor quiere decir adjudicar/relacionar. Me gustaría escuchar otras opiniones. Aquí va algo de contexto:

"Que el más fuerte imponga sus intereses personales po sobre el más débil está en la naturaleza. Que la justificación de tal acción se la quiera *montar* sobre el bien y el mal, está en la cultura".

Mil gracias por anticipado.
Alicia

=

The desire to superimpose a justification of such behavior upon the criteria of what constitutes good and evil is something intrinsic to all cultures.

This seems to be the meaning.

Suerte.
