← Back to Domain-Specific Abstractions by Domain

2 domain-specific abstractions whose origin domain is Moral Philosophy.

• Moral particularism — Hold that sound moral judgment does not depend on applying a sufficient stock of invariant moral principles because a consideration's relevance or polarity can change with the other features of the particular case.
• Thick concept — Combine substantial descriptive content with an evaluative valence in one concept, so competent application both characterizes a case and ordinarily commends or condemns it.
