Excellence and means: On the limits of buck-passing
Journal of Value Inquiry 42 (3):301-315 (2008)
Abstract
The article explores the limits of buck-passing analysis in evaluating value or goodness. It talks about the inability of back-passers to account for two important types of value or goodness, which include excellence and means. The use of delimiting strategy in buck-passing analysis in order to be in possession of goodness is discussed.Author's Profile
