- W77419008 abstract "T here are three common explanations of moral failure. These explanations involve appeal to ignorance, akrasia, and evil-in brief, not knowing the good, not having the strength of will to do the good, and not wanting to do good. All of these explanations persist in the earliest literature, philosophical and otherwise.' This stands to reason: they do seem to capture the broad terrain of much moral failure. Ignorance, akrasia, and evil (or, put in a less loaded way, maliciousness) cover the in stances of moral failure that are most readily encountered-but they are not as exhaustive as they perhaps initially seem. Indeed, a con centration on these categories to the exclusion of others has led to a theoretical dead end in many of the most heated moral disputes. This alone would provide sufficient reason to inquire into other possible modes of moral failure-but there are reasons in addition to this rather pragmatic one. As will be shown in what follows, an additional category of moral failure is required to effectively explain what is wrong with things like racism, heterosex ism, and simple inconsiderateness.2 This ad ditional moral category stems from the notion of moral perception, the acknowledgment of which enables an account of moral failures not captured under 'evil,' 'akrasia,' and 'ignorance.' Moreover, the notion of moral perception provides fertile philosophical soil; it facilitates re-conceiving some troublesome areas of moral disagreement. In what follows, an argument aimed at establishing that appeal to moral perception is necessary to account for specific instances of moral failure will be provided. Following this, it will be argued that this notion must be distinguished from the idea of moral judg ment. A suggestion about how a discussion of moral perception might advance the debate when considering issues like factory farming, same-sex marriage, and torture will then be considered. Finally, it will be claimed that moral perception remains agnostic on the question of moral properties.3 To begin, it is necessary to get clear on the distinct types of moral failure with which this essay began." @default.
