{ 2 } - After reflection, the basic goods of human life are self-evident.
{ 3 } - It's always wrong to choose directly against a basic good (e.g. life, by murder).
{ 4 } - All the basic goods are important; each one can seem, from a certain perspective, to be the most important.
{ 5 } - The basic goods can't be measured on a common scale and totaled; so the consequentialist norm to maximize total value is meaningless.
{ 6 } - All of the above are part of his restatement.
