    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Moral perception may operate through exemplar-matching rather than explicit generalizations, requiring no universal rules.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Tacit, embodied learning from cases can generate reliable dispositions without formalizable generalizations that cognition accesses.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Aristotle emphasizes particular judgment over universal rules, suggesting expertise resists the generalizations the claim presupposes.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
