Given the ontological status of appearances, my hunch is that Gupta does not treat them as comprising an empirical domain that one could have knowledge of or make judgments about.

There are, of course, borderline cases even for rough colors, objects that are, for example, at the boundary of blue and green.

..., or preferences—it is assumed that any reason-responsive agent whatsoever will satisfy them. Theorists such as Peter Railton (1986) and Richard Boyd ( 1979 , 1980 , 1988 ) would reject the implicit assumption that (moral) reasons in question are categorical in this way. They argue instead that moral reasons...

... presents itself to every rational agent as a categorical demand. According to Kosch’s Fichte, morality is not a matter of following an unconditional law, but of adopting the right end. But from Kant’s point of view, the adoption of any end is discretionary, or at least contingent. The moral law...

To resolve this apparent conflict, Ragland argues that Descartes distinguishes between “absolute” hypothetical two-way power, and “moral” categorical two-way power. For Descartes, degrees of freedom are qualitative...
