    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Willing universal non-development is self-defeating: it requires using rational capacities while denying their worth developing in principle.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Talents constitute preconditions for forming maxims about non-trivial choices; their total neglect undermines rational agency's meaningful exercise.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Rational agency requires only consistency in maxim-formation, not optimization of capacities or self-improvement.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.A being can rationally will inaction on talent if they consistently prioritize other values like contemplation or preservation of autonomy.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Maxim-formation ability is logically independent from talent development; one can reject self-cultivation while maintaining principled agency.
