ABSTRACT
The limits of decidability are the limits of good reasons; any inquiry into the justification of decisions in the conduct of life must take them into account. The very nature of human conduct as an interaction with others and with ourselves conceived as others imposes limits on the justification of life decisions. That the consequences of our life decisions are contingent upon events outside our control constitutes another fundamental reason why the law of any self may prove inadequate to justify a decision. Human beings being takers of chances, their self-interest consists in the furtherance of corrected self-interest and hence of their conceptions of themselves as they go along. Modern moral philosophy has often concerned itself with managing the puzzles of individuals pushed by their real or hypothetical situations into deciding among the welfares of others. Thinking of that luck as unfair implies a concept of morality prior to the concept that cannot exclude the possibility of moral luck.
