    Case-based reasoning, or casuistry, is defended against communitarian critics. It utilizes practical wisdom and moral taxonomy to remain critical of society, functioning as a sophisticated form of communitarianism.

    Area of Science:

    • Moral Philosophy
    • Ethics
    • Legal Reasoning

    Background:

    • Communitarian critics argue that case-based reasoning (casuistry) fails by not establishing a shared hierarchy of goods.
    • This critique suggests casuistry relies on either naive metaphysical realism or ethical conventionalism, undermining its ethical foundation.

    Observation:

    • Casuistry incorporates moral realism and narrative histories.
    • It requires engagement with surrounding culture.

    Findings:

    • Casuistry employs practical wisdom and moral taxonomy for societal critique.
    • This Aristotelian virtue is essential for casuistry's validity.

    Implications:

    • Casuistry emerges as a nuanced communitarian approach, not an independent method.
