Document Summary

1. waluchow and boetzkes identify three levels of moral response in the early part of their paper (look for the question they use to explain these levels on p. 5). The three levels of moral response identified by waluchow and boetzkes are the expressive level, the reflective level and the pre-reflective level. When asked the question, why does one oppose abortion, the three levels can be distinguished. In the expressive level, if when asked why does one oppose abortion, the person said because they don"t like it this would be immoral. This is because feelings do not justify the morality of an action. The problem at the expressive levels lies in the fact that people feel differently. Secondly, at the pre-reflective level, the moral response is based around conventional norms. At this level, when asked the question one can based their justification off principles, values and rules. Such as that of legal systems and religious groups.
