 Foot recognized one of the most obvious objections to this position, which is the ‘tight corner’. That is, while it may be generally beneficial to be just or courageous, in individual circumstances it is difficult to claim that someone has reason to be virtuous when, in doing so, they would incur a very great loss. On this objection, it would seem rational to avoid developing the disposition to be just in order to avoid incurring these losses. In “ Moral Beliefs” Foot argued that by concentrating on the costs of particular just acts in isolation, this object fails to recognize the value of the general disposition to be just (1959 [VV 129–30]). But later she cites the objection as a reason for her change of view in “Morality as a System of Hypothetical Imperatives” (VV x). Ultimately, the successful defense of her early position on the rationality of morality depends on defending the view that we should not be focusing on the rationality of individual actions, but rather the rationality of adopting the disposition to be just.[2]
