Additional information

I would like to thank the Philosophy Department at California State University, Fullerton, for inviting me to talk at its conference on Moral Philosophy, February, 1979, from which this essay originated. Since then, I have learned from many fruitful discussions with John Giuliano; his ideas have affected the shape and content of this work in ways too deep and pervasive to take particular note of. (For a sustained defense of the unity thesis, see Giuliano's Virtues and Actions, Ph. D. Thesis, U.C.L.A., 1978) I am also grateful to Gregory Kavka, Guy Sircello, and Peter Woodruff for criticisms of an earlier draft.
