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.
- Linda Zabzeski, Divine Motivation Theory
