Additional information

An ancestor of Sections II and IV of this paper was read at an ethics discussion group at the University of California at Los Angeles, at the University of Minnesota, and at the University of Washington. Besides being read at the Symposium on Ethics at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro, an earlier draft of the present paper was read at Pacific Lutheran University. I am thankful to all of those who commented on those occasions. During the development of this paper I have benefited from the comments of John Dolan, William Hanson, Joshua Hoffman, Gary Rosenkrantz, and Burnham Terrell. I owe a special debt of gratitude to my commentator at the Symposium on Ethics, Terrance McConnell, both for his comments and his subsequent discussion of the paper.
