    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Respect tracks multiple distinct valuable tropes (autonomy, rationality, dignity), not a single non-tropic entity beneath them.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Persons as subjects are themselves best analyzed as bundles or continuants of tropes rather than non-tropic substrates.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The fittingness of respect can be fully explained by relations among valuable tropes without positing a separate locus.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Respect toward persons systematically differs from respect toward their properties or actions, suggesting a unified locus of value.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Rational agency constitutes an integrated capacity of the whole person, not reducible to separable tropes or attributes.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Moral duties to persons persist across changes in their tropes, implying value attaches to something non-tropic and enduring.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
