 Second, in the case of moral considerations, there may not be any denial of incomparability. Moral considerations may provide guidance without comparing alternative courses of action (Finnis 1997, 225–226). Furthermore, some philosophers argue that the moral wrongness of certain actions is intelligible only in virtue of incomparability. For example, Alan Strudler argues that to deliberate about the permissibility of lying in terms of comparable options is to misunderstand the wrong in lying (1998, 1561–1564).
