Chapter 12
Moral, Legal, and Aesthetic Reasoning

Chapter Recap

The key points in this chapter are as follows:
• Value judgments express values.
• Moral (value) judgments express moral values.
• Certain words, especially “ought,” “should,” “right,” “wrong,” and their opposites, are
used in moral value judgments, but can also be used in a nonmoral sense.
• Reasoning about morality is distinguished from other types of reasoning in that the
conclusions it tries to establish are moral judgments.
• Deriving a moral judgment about a specific act requires showing that the judgment falls
under a general moral statement.
• In a case in which we disagree as to the morality of a specific act we can point to this
general moral statement as the source of disagreement.
• People are sometimes inconsistent in their moral views: They treat similar cases as if they
were different, even when they cannot tell us what is importantly different about them.
• When two or more cases that are being treated differently seem similar, the burden of proof
is on the person who is treating them differently to explain what is different about them.
• The foundations of general moral statements are provided by outcome morality, rule
morality, virtue morality, moral relativism and subjectivism, and religious absolutism.
• When it isn’t clear whether a specific act falls under a general moral statement in a given
situation, the issue might be resolved by examining the act in terms of its likely outcome,
adherence to a moral rule such as the Golden Rule, or compatibility with how a person of
good character would act.
• Reasoning in a civil or criminal proceeding involves trying to establish to a judge or jury
that a specific wrongdoing was done by a specific party.
• Whether what a party did qualifies as a specific legal wrongdoing depends on whether it
falls under the definition of the wrongdoing. Sometimes this involves deciding whether an
act is analogous to an act that has previously been ruled as a wrongdoing.
• Legal moralism, the harm principle, legal paternalism, and the offense principle are
grounds for justifying laws that proscribe conduct.
• Precedent is a kind of analogical argument by means of which current cases are settled in
accordance with guidelines set by cases decided previously.
• Whether a precedent governs in a given case is decided on grounds similar to those of any

, other analogical argument.
• To reason aesthetically is to make judgments within a conceptual framework that
integrates facts and values.
• Aesthetic value is often identified as the capacity to fulfill a function, such as to create
pleasure or promote social change.
• Alternatively, aesthetic value is defined in terms of a special aesthetic property or form
found in works of art.
• Still another view treats aesthetic judgments as expressions of tastes.
• Reasoned argument about aesthetic value helps us to see, hear, or otherwise perceive art in
changed or expanded ways and to enhance our appreciation of art.
• A critic who gives reasons in support of an aesthetic verdict forges agreement by getting
others to share perceptions of the work. The greater the extent to which we share such
aesthetic perceptions, the more we can reach agreement about aesthetic value.
