Moral reasoning is individual or collective practical reasoning about what, morally, one ought to do. Philosophical examination of moral reasoning faces both distinctive puzzles - about how we recognize moral considerations and cope with conflicts among them and about how they move us to act - and distinctive opportunities for gleaning insight about what we ought to do from how we reason...

The l-calculus is, at heart, a simple notation for functions and application. The main ideas are applying a function to an argument and forming functions by abstraction. The syntax of basic l-calculus is quite sparse, making it an elegant, focused notation for representing functions. Functions and arguments are on a par with one another. The result is an intensional theory of functions as rules of computation, contrasting with the traditional extensional approach one of function as a set of pairs of a certain...
