Beschreibung
V¿ynen argues that thick concepts ¿ such as lewd and rude, selfish and cruel, courageous and kind ¿ are evaluative only as a matter of pragmatics. If thick concepts are not inherently evaluative in meaning, they cannot have the deep and distinctive significance they are often given in moral philosophy.
