It must be conceded, however, that a consistent natural law theorist could hardly hold that derivationist knowledge of the human good is the only such knowledge possible.
There have been several attempts to describe the mathematical structure of inconsistent pictures using classical consistent mathematics, by theorists such as Cowan, Francis and Penrose.
A second major class of ethical theorists, consistent followers of Thomas Aquinas' natural-law ethics, likewise must reject avoidable DT.
The results of this experiment are roughly consistent with art theorists' claim that hue contrast enhances people's preference for colors in combinations that contain at least certain kinds of hue contrast (e.g., Chevreul, 1839; Munsell, 1921).
But even aside from that particular issue, the desideratum can make a good deal of work for the non-cognitivist because of the variety of kinds of moral theory and the variety of differing but allegedly consistent judgments proposed by theorists.
Since, as is widely found in prior experiments, subjects do not follow the predictions of classical rationality, behavioral game theorists have assumed consistent deviations from classical rationality by assigning to subjects certain dispositions— risk preference, cognitive abilities, social norms, etc.
But it would be at least consistent to accept (i) the bundle theorist's property ontology and (ii) that bundles of compresent properties are not fit to serve as concrete objects.
Cross-lagged effects were stronger in studies which used methodologies consistent with recommendations of self-efficacy theorists.
Links between disorganized attachment relationships and sympathetic reactivity on reunion with the caregiver would in Porges' framework be highly consistent with the interpretation by attachment theorists that disorganized attachment patterns are the result of the opposing tendencies engendered by the fear system (fight or flight) and the attachment system (seek contact) [ 55].
If auteur status is conferred, as its early theorists argued, by a recognizable and consistent set of themes, gestures and motifs, then Mr. Soderbergh's résumé can start to look like a deliberate attempt to refute the theory.
