Joshua D. Greene was kind enough to attend both sessions at Harvard and to offer clarifications and replies. For written comments on earlier drafts, I am indebted to Jacob Beck, Carol Berker, Tyler Doggett, Frances Kamm, Christine Korsgaard, Seana Shiffrin, Judith Jarvis Thomson, and Hasko Vonkriegstein (on behalf of the moral psychology reading group at Toronto University).
