Patricia Marino argues against this strategy (2016). She argues that ‘systematicity’ (the idea that it is better to have fewer principles) is not a good argument in favour of monism. Marino points out that explanation in terms of fewer fundamental principles is not necessarily better explanation. If there are plural values, then the explanation that appeals to plural values is a better one, in the sense that it is the true one: it doesn’t deny the plurality of values. (2016, p.124-125). Even if we could give a monist explanation without having to trade off against our pluralist intuitions, Marino argues, we have no particular reason to think that explanations appealing to fewer principles are superior.
