Moral intuition seems unevenly distributed between people [Rowlands]
     Full Idea: The faculty of moral intuition seems to be unevenly distributed between people.
     From: Mark Rowlands (Externalism [2003], Ch.11)
     A reaction: This would be a good argument if it was thought that the source of moral intuitions was divine, but people vary enormously in their intuitions about maths, about character, about danger. If you believe in any intuition at all, you must accept its variety.
