ABSTRACT
Our moral sensibilities urge us to use our free will and become less situated and more aware. Yet it is easier not to be. And even if we want to, it is especially difficult if the rest of society uses place to escape and drift morally into a narrower set of concerns, so that its members become self-deceived. Then, any particular individual’s efforts to do otherwise would be heroic, and, what good effect might come from it, all too limited. This is why we all need the assistance of good social institutions and social relations. But even then good institutions do not produce good without us having a will to do it.
