    Part of a larger discussion

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Reactive attitudes like resentment require perceived moral wrongs against one's dignity or rights, which non-moral domains don't inherently involve.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Forgiveness's core function is reconciliation after interpersonal harm; aesthetic or epistemic disagreements lack this relational breach requiring repair.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.We seek apologies and forgiveness only when wrongdoing violates obligations owed to us—a distinctly moral category absent in prudential preferences.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.We experience genuine resentment at poor aesthetic judgment or epistemic negligence in others, suggesting these domains do generate reactive attitudes.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.An advisor's reckless epistemic carelessness causing harm involves betrayed trust and violated duties of care—moral elements—blurring the alleged boundary.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Forgiveness practices appear in non-moral contexts (forgiving sloppy artistic choices, overlooking poor reasoning), suggesting the claim conflates forgiveness with moral reconciliation.

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
