    Challenges→No judgment can be called purely just in the present moment

    The existence of a practical virtue specifically enabling just particular judgments refutes the claim that calculation and singularity are irreconcilable sources of injustice.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Practical wisdom (phronesis) enables agents to apply universal principles to particular contexts without losing either generality or responsiveness to singularity.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If calculation and particularity were fundamentally irreconcilable, no virtue could bridge them; but phronesis demonstrably does this in ethical practice.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Justice requires both consistent rules and contextual sensitivity; a virtue enabling both dissolves the supposed incompatibility between them.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Claiming a virtue 'enables' just judgments begs the question: it merely names the solution without explaining how calculation and singularity genuinely integrate.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The tension between universal calculation and irreducible particularity may be structural to ethics itself, not resolvable by invoking a single virtue.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.If such a virtue existed and truly resolved the conflict, injustice rooted in this incompatibility would be preventable through virtue education—but it persists.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
