Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Moral philosophers generally affirm that there are moral options: a single person sometimes has multiple morally permissible actions at a time.

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT External‐world skepticism challenges, among other things, the epistemic credentials of beliefs about other people.
