    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Concrete injustices are identifiable through tangible harm and violated interests, not through comparison to abstract unrealized ideals.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.A regulative horizon need not be fully achievable to be functionally useful as a measuring rod for present inadequacies and direction of reform.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Movements for civil rights succeeded by invoking ideals (equality, dignity) that societies had not yet realized, proving horizons enable present critique.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
