Abstract

This article is a response to Fowers, Ainsley, and Lefevor, who offer a critique of a previously published article of ours that explored the problems of grounding aspiration and virtue in any ontology that does not allow for the possibility of an eternal soul. In this article, we argue that Fowers et al. have seriously misunderstood the nature and intent of our original argument and, therefore, fail to adequately respond to what we take to be a central concern that limits the viability of any approach to virtue and aspiration grounded in a naturalistic ontology for addressing the “Wherefore” question that lies at the heart of virtue and aspiration.
