I don't doubt that I "sound" very confused in the previous posting. I was writing quickly. "Moral" talk about norms confuses identity-anchored ethical values and the subset of social regulatives that are approved in accord with one's ethical bacground. Whether a reason is *actually* normative for action or just claimed to be normative (the proffered norm is refused) depends on deliberation relative to one's ethical universe. Whether a norm is action-orienting for my purposes or regulative for *our* interactions (a product of a mutual approval process) is a distinction between ethical activity and pragmatic translation of varying ethical understandings into consensual regulatives across variable backgrounds. Now, have I confused things even more? G __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email alerts & NEW webcam video instant messaging with Yahoo!
