 The second account is by Elijah Millgram (1997). Like Richardson, Millgram argues that comparability is not a prerequisite for deliberation. However, in contrast to Richardson, Millgram argues that practical deliberation results in the comparability of ends (1997, 151). By this he means that through deliberation, one develops a coherent conception of what matters and a “background against which one can judge not only that one consideration is more important than another, but how much more important” (1997, 163). For Millgram, comparing one’s ends is a “central part of attaining unified agency” (1997, 162).
