An inability ever to countenance judicial murder may be recommendable by critical to intuitive thinking as a constraint upon practical reflection in an emergency.
Whether or not we accept a consequentialist framework, questions in the theory of value would seem to be an important focus for practical reflection.
The expressivist strategy relies on an initial contrast between practical reflection on the one hand, and the genuine forms of cognitive activity characteristic of theoretical reasoning on the other.
As pragmatic trial research is a dynamic process in which the parts of research and (health care) practice will be redefined repeatedly, a continuous process of methodological and practical reflection is imperative.
A pragmatic trial research is a dynamic process that, in order to be able to assess the validity and reliability of any effects of interventions must also have a continuous process of methodological and practical reflection.
Because pragmatic trial research is a dynamic process, in order to be able to assess the validity and reliability of any effects of interventions, it must also have a continuous process of methodological and practical reflection.
Velleman [1989], by contrast, identifies an intention with the agent's spontaneous belief, derived from practical reflection, which says that he is presently doing a certain act (or that he will do such an act in the future), and that his act is (or will be) performed precisely as a consequence of his acceptance of this self-referential belief.
Depending on how it is developed, this approach may offer a different way of accounting for the practical consequences of practical reflection, without assuming that reasons for action are grounded in an agent's subjective motivations (Velleman 2000, chap. 8, Wallace 1999).
For, like his engaging and hugely popular lecturing style – less lecture, more public Socratic dialogue – his technique is to allow wisdom to dawn through the application of practical reflection upon the particular.
But the contrast between theoretical and practical reflection required for this purpose seems elusive.
