To Live Outside the Law You Must Be Honest

Abstract

Section I states Sandis’s view in his paper (particularism for actions, generalism for dispositions); Section II describes and begins to criticize Dancy-style particularism; Section III applies these criticisms to Sandis’s view; Section IV delineates an alternative view (my own) about actions, dispositions, and the particularism/generalism debate; Section V raises and considers a further puzzle, about how in general we should understand virtue ascriptions anyway.
