 To the extent that our practical reasoning is guided at all by general rules or principles (something that Dancy explicitly denies), the reasoning must be defeasible, as John Horty has argued (Horty 2007b). From this perspective, Dancy’s thesis of moral particularism corresponds to the potential defeasibility of all general reasons (see Lance and Little 2004, 2007). Defeasible logic can enable general rules to play an indispensable role despite the reasons holism that Dancy has uncovered.
