A few philosophers have explored the possibility of a priori justification (§4.3).
Thus, Feigl allows the possibility of a "pragmatic justification of the adoption of an alternative frame" (ibid., p. 386), thereby implying that there exists a plurality of alternative ethical systems.
Because the transcendental method anchors philosophy in facts (eminently the fact of mathematical physics), of which philosophy is to establish the conditions of possibility or justification (Rechtsgrund).[15] By limiting itself to this task of justification, philosophical reason keeps itself from ascending into the aether of speculation.
That this holistic way of proceeding (whether in building moral theory or in deliberating: cf. Hurley 1989) can be rational is confirmed by the possibility of a form of justification that is similarly holistic: "justification is a matter of the mutual support of many considerations, of everything fitting together into one coherent view" (Rawls 1999, 19, 507).
Dutch Book Arguments represent the possibility of a new kind of justification for epistemological principles.
Turning to the philosophy of science, it was clear by the end of the 1980s that the centreground was now occupied by a new realism, one that took on board lessons from general philosophy of language and epistemology, in particular referentialist semantics and a belief in the possibility of objective knowledge and justification.
Both types of Primary Right Theory allow the possibility that injustice provides one type of justification for the unilateral (claim-right) to secede.
Despite concerns over the infringement of personal liberties, and the possibility of abuse of the blanket justification for snooping for the "prevention of organised crime", the military programming law cleared its final hurdle on Wednesday after members of the Sénat, the upper house of parliament, voted by 164 to 146 on Wednesday.
Another important metaethical issue concerns the very possibility of ethical truth, objectivity, or justification within the sphere of secular bioethics.
Hook's activist involvement in many of the major moral issues that emerged in the political debates of the 1930s was connected to a major theoretical issue of ethical theory: the possibility of the determination and the justification of objective, normative statements.
