    It is not the case that The existence of a practical virtue specifically enabling just particular judgments refutes the claim that calculation and singularity are irreconcilable sources of injustice.

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 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

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 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
