    It is not the case that Pace Neblett, functional pluralism collapses the performative account into an expressivist one, since the act's moral significance would then derive from inner states rather than conventional force.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Functional pluralism permits multiple sources of significance; allowing both doesn't entail that one collapses into the other theoretically.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Acts can derive conventional force from social practices while *also* expressing inner states without reducing one source to the other.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The collapse claim assumes performative and expressivist accounts are mutually exclusive; but hybrid frameworks can preserve both distinctly.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Expressivist accounts ground moral force in speaker psychology; functional pluralism allows acts to derive significance from internal states.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If conventional force and inner states both ground moral significance, the distinction between performative and expressivist collapses structurally.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Neblett's performative account requires moral force to be independent of psychological states; functional pluralism violates this requirement.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
