Moral Particularism
Questions whether sound moral judgment depends on fixed principles that work the same way in every case. The relevance and force of a reason may change with the situation.
Foundational doctrines
- Context-sensitive reasons
- Judgment in particulars
- Skepticism of fixed moral rules

This is not the claim that every judgment is equally good; the dispute is how context-sensitive judgment can be explained and held accountable. Particularism is not the claim that all opinions are equally good or that no moral judgments can be correct.
