  The upshot of this brief discussion is that monists must be able to defend their claim that the value they cite is genuinely one value. There may be fewer monist theories than it first appears. Further, the monist must accept the implications of a genuinely monist view. As Ruth Chang points out, (2015, p. 24) the simpler the monist’s account of the good is, the less likely it is that the monist will be able to give a good account of the various complexities in choice that seem an inevitable part of our experience of value. But on the other hand, if the monist starts to admit that the good is complex, the view gets closer and closer to being a pluralist view.
