    It is not the case that Crisp's account of an invariant core around which moral variability is built does not succeed

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Crisp's position attempts to explain why particularist variability must be built around an invariant core
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The supposed virtues Crisp identifies do not in fact play the role required by his account
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    2 perspectives
    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Aristotle's phronesis requires context-sensitive judgment precisely because no fixed virtues can predetermine right action across all situations.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If practical wisdom must adjudicate between competing virtues situationally, no virtue can serve as an invariant structural core rather than a defeasible consideration.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Crisp's invariant core collapses the distinction between virtues as stable dispositions and virtues as action-guiding principles, conflating two distinct normative roles.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.McDowell's perceptualist account demonstrates that moral salience is irreducibly particular, making any invariant feature a theoretical imposition on moral phenomenology.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If the moral relevance of a feature like honesty can be silenced rather than merely outweighed in certain cases, as Dancy argues, it lacks the invariance Crisp's core requires.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
