Persons who  are good in the ordinary way can reliably perceive what is rude,  contemptible, pitiful, dangerous, threatening, lovable, dishonest,  trustworthy, and so on. But it takes an exceptional person to see  not only the pitifulness but also the lovableness of the same person   at the same time. Or to see not only the dishonesty but also the  pitifulness, or to see the fact that someone is both dishonest and  trustworthy at the same time, but in different ways. [Such a person]  takes in the entire situation in all its morally relevant respects and  responds to that.
