The arguments are not Cliffords own but new deductive ones. There is also a discussion of some recent criticisms of Clifford. They seldom succeed against Cliffords original position and never succeed against the case for the Cliffordian virtue. It is pointed out that there need be no conflict between religion and Cliffordianism. The virtue approach emphasizes the value of striving over the value of success. |
