ABSTRACT
In Chapter 2, I discussed the importance of motive and character in our moral evaluation of action. Byron, you will recall, rescued me when I was stranded, and our evaluation of what he did depended in part on his reasons for doing what he did, and on the sort of person he was. The importance of motive and character came out again in Chapter 3, in my champagne example of how two people can do the same thing, but for very different kinds of motive and out of very different kinds of character trait.
