“Given the passion and intensity with which we debate moral questions in life, we might be tempted to think that our moral convictions are fixed once and for all, by upbringing or faith, beyond the reach of reason. But if this were true, moral persuasions would be inconceivable, and what we take to be public debate… would be nothing more than a volley of dogmatic assertions, and ideological food fight.”

“If moral reflection is dialectical—if it moves back and forth between the judgements we make in concrete situations and the principles that inform those judgements—it needs opinions and convictions, however partial and untutoured, as ground and grist. A philosophy untouched by shadows on the wall can only yield a sterile utopia.”
