18 Though a rationalist, I do not subscribe to all the views of those criticized under that name by Professor Alan Gewirth in his Lindley Lecture for 1972 (reprinted in Freedom and Morality, ed. Bricke, J. (Lawrence, Kansas, 1976), 113).Google Scholar I wish to take this opportunity of apologizing to Professor Gewirth for wrongly accusing him, in my own lecture in the same volume (p. 192), of confusing my views with those of a subjectivist who thinks that an act can be shown to be not morally right by showing that it is not acceptable to its agent when he is its recipient. He has pointed out to me that I had no cause, beyond a misreading of his lecture, to take him as including me among the objects of his criticism in that passage.
