ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on justification procedures for diverse types of moral judgments: value judgments, evaluations, obligation statements, attributions and ascriptions of responsibility, as well as responsible agency statements. It examines the concept of justice and the concept of a good man: justice because it exemplifies one of the leading ideals of concern to agent moralists, and 'the good man' because it is an attempt at a summation of moral character. The notion of equity is undoubtedly a necessary part of the concept of justice. There are some traits of character which are simply distillates of various features of the criteria: Physical ability, intellectual ability, leadership ability, adaptability. The moralists, who develop objections to specific moral principles as repressive of 'natural instincts' and needs, speak for the orientation towards an equilibrium. One can construct about moral character on the basis of axiological and deontological schemes, purposiveness, personalness, and the aesthetic nature of our lives contain operative orientations.
