Re: Elizabeth Anderson

Kevin, Forgive me if I address your thoughtful comment on Anderson
in a nitpicker's fasion, but I'm still grappling with her ideas.
Let me start with consequentialism. She characterizes
consequentialism as treating states of affairs as _intrinsically_
valuable, and contrasts with this an expressive view where
consequences gain their value in the social/emotional context
of human action. It seems that this critique of consequentialism
is a critique of a (characterization of a) theory of moral
justification, and it is not a critique of, e.g., the
neoclassical theory of individual choice (even extended
beyond the market). --Alan G. Isaac
