ES3.1 Arguing from example, analogy, and counter-example.
Moral argument often
takes place using examples, counter-examples, and analogies. These methods help to clarify
issues and to point out the inconsistencies and difficulties inherent in various ethical
positions. Ethical argument moves from intuition about the right or the good, to explicit
reasoning, and then is tested by being compared to concrete examples and analogies.
