Moral judgments solicited under conditions where people are calm and have adequate information about the cases under consideration, used as inputs to Rawlsian reflective equilibrium
idealized conditions(used to discuss how philosophers sometimes use unrealistic scenarios to separate true from false claims)
Imaginary perfect situations that don't exist in the real world, created to test ideas or theories in their purest form.
principles(Explicitly equated with 'invariant reasons' in the passage)
Invariant reasons — moral considerations that apply consistently regardless of particular circumstances
reflective equilibrium(Introduced by Goodman in the context of justifying induction)
A methodological state reached when considered judgments and the inference rules that best explain those judgments are mutually coherent, achieved by iteratively revising either judgments or rules when conflicts arise
