Ima talks about a moral argument with a Nazi. She says that you're likely to reach an impasse on some basic moral principle. Maybe you hold that all races are to be treated with respect, while he thinks that his race is to be treated better. This difference is based on feelings -- and can't be resolved by reasoning. But we might progress further by trying to change the Nazi's feelings about other races.
