    Reason for
    ?

      ?

    1 perspective
    Reason against

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If all available options are equally just, then none can be condemned as unjust since none fails to meet the standard of justice.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Moral blame presupposes the agent could have done otherwise justly; without such alternatives, condemnation becomes incoherent.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
