Document Summary
Disagreements about whether a situation is a moral situation or a moral issue. Attempt to show that there is or isn"t something significant that affects those in the circumstance. We need to take in welfare, fair treatment and fairness to other players when deciding if something is moral or immoral. Disagreements about what best contributes to the welfare and fair treatment in a particular situation. Through discussion, attempt to get at what contributes most to significant interests. We need to convince our reader to pay attention to the values we have chosen. This is an epistemological question (how we know what we know) Is it possible to convince an ethical person to be self-interested by providing ethical reasons to be self-interested: agreement with moral values but disagreement with means to achieve these. Through discussion, attempt to get at whether some means best contribute to agreed upon goals.
