Ethical particularists,represented by MacIntyre and Dancy,are critical of the universalistic morality based on Kantian ethics.They argue that this type of morality formalizes ethical principles and decontextualizes universal principles,leading to insensitivity of ethical judgments to specific contexts.Contemporary Kantians respond by establishing a universalistic morality that depends on and is sensitive to specific contexts through reducing the abstraction of universal principles and introducing rules of ethical sensitivity.This response has flaws,but nevertheless,if we differentiate moral laws and laws of virtue,and prescriptive judgments and reflective judgments of practice,we can consider Kant's universal principles as laws of virtue and moral judgments as reflective judgments of practice,and then contemplate a universalistic ethics that is Kantian-style,context-dependent and sensitive.
