Is the natural division here between rules and attitudes or between rules and heuristics?
Virtue ethicists would argue that attitudes are important because the only way that we can guarantee that we will act ethically in the future is to practise virtue until it becomes deeply embedded in our mindset.
On the other hand, this post concentrates on the value of attitudes as heuristics so that there are a manageable number of considerations and also so that you can communicate your needs without opening yourself up to rules lawyering.
