Wright I 224
Ethics/Explanation/Harman: e.g. instead of moral judgment without assessment, we take psychological characteristics and education. We look at characteristics of the assessor, not of the action.
>Judgments, >Actions, >Education.
Wright I 244
SturgeonVsHarman: e.g. that our belief that Hitler was morally corrupt is based on things that he did precisely because he was morally corrupt, so his depravity is part of the explanation of our belief that he actually was.
>Explanations, >Causal explanation, >Circularity.
I.e. we must be prepared for this kind of explanation simply because of the realization that moral discourses are at least minimally capable of truth and that thus the missing analogies (to science) will appear elsewhere.
<Discourses, >Morality, >Discourse theory, >Analogies,
>Minimalism, >Capacity for Truth.
