Greenwood'sbrilliantnote freesus fromidentifying practicalreason with per-
ceptual excellence. It has not, however,explained the passage by opposingmoral
virtueto practicalreason but ratherby introducingthe sensuscommunis.This intro-
duction is correctfor the perceptionwhich moral virtuemakes correctis the per-
ception of the sensuscommunis.The relationbetweenthe sensuscommunis and moral
virtueis a lengthysubjectwhich I hope to treatfullyin a subsequentpaper.
