What do you think are the requirements of impartial reasoning?

Impartiality is the idea that the same ethical standards are applied to everyone. We need to be
impartial because It makes no discrimination as to nationality, race, religious beliefs, class or political
opinions. It endeavors to relieve the suffering of individuals, being guided solely by their needs, and to
give priority to the most urgent cases of distress.

Judging a person to be impartial is not as straightforward as judging a person to have some moral virtue
such as kindness or trustworthiness. People do not even understand what it means to claim that one is
impartial unless they know both the group toward which that person is impartial and the respect in
which one is impartial with regard to that group. The impartiality required by morality also requires a
specification of the group toward which morality requires impartiality and the respect in which it
requires impartiality with regard to that group.
