Abstract
AbstractWhat is the threshold of praiseworthiness? That is, how morally good should an action be in order to be potentially morally praiseworthy? I argue that the threshold of praiseworthiness should be set at actions that fulfill obligations. One may think that this threshold is too low, but this impression is due to the failure to realize that a person may deserve only micro credit for doing what she ought to do. Against the objection that the proposed threshold is too high, I argue that neither morally wrong actions nor merely permissible actions may be praiseworthy.
