Abstract
- Eva Erman and Niklas Möller have recently presented a trenchant critique of my argument that ideal normative theories are uninformative for certain practical purposes. Their critique is largely correct. In this article, I develop the ideas behind my earlier argument in a way that circumvents their critique and explains more clearly why ideal theory is uninformative for certain purposes while leaving open the possibility that it might be informative for other purposes.
