    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.If rational judgment is effectively inoperative during action, the distinction between suppression and indifference becomes functionally meaningless.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.A faculty genuinely oriented toward the good should resist suppression; successful suppression suggests the faculty lacked that orientation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Motivation patterns during occlusion reveal what the agent's motivational structure actually is, regardless of latent rational capacity.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Temporary occlusion of judgment preserves the rational faculty's inherent orientation toward the good, merely blocking its operation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.An amorally indifferent faculty would lack any structural connection to evaluative reasoning, unlike suppressed rational judgment.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Post-hoc rational reconstruction of suppressed judgments shows the good was still recognized, suggesting retained rational orientation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
