Our everyday social interactions involve holding others morally accountable for their wrongdoings... more Our everyday social interactions involve holding others morally accountable for their wrongdoings. Sometimes such holdings might be inappropriate. For instance, it feels inappropriate if the person holding another morally accountable is in some relevant sense morally compromised. Thus a thief chastising a thief would strike us as somewhat odd. We might, when witnessing such behaviour, want to remind the chastiser that he is not in a position to reprimand others. But what if none of us are ever in such a position? In this paper we will argue that all men are irremediably morally compromised, and conclude that, ultimately, it is never appropriate for us to hold others morally accountable.

This paper enters the discussion of the question between Julian Dodd and Michael Morris . Dodd is a proponent of a type-token view, which is a version of Platonism . Morris has formulated an argument that purports to show that a musical work cannot be a token of a type . If successful, the argument presents a serious challenge for a type-token theorist with implications for Platonism as a whole . Morris's argument is, however, problematic in several respects . The aim of this paper is to identify the problems and weaken the strength of Morris's argument, thus restoring the original appeal of a type-token view . Key terms: Cambridge property, intentional reductionism, type-token distinction .
