Abstract :
With this article, the author explores Dancy´s suggestion and describes a neural network model of classification exploring the possibility of case-based moral reasoning (including learning) without recourse to moral principles. The resulting simulations show that nontrivial case classification might be possible but reclassification is more problematic
