- what to do?
- that is the question
- the catch is:
- the question {is all one has [on which] to ground an|the | alone must ground the} answer
- and the purpose:
- to bring us closer to the normative sphere, where we might come to grips
with the present task, that of sketching a normative ethic
∵ should a determinate answer emerge [from such {an exercise|a question}],
then it would be something we share in common with everyone of a certain standing,
that implied in the question
∵ the question is devoid of context
∴ it would be something typical, and being typical would be near to (if not within)
the sphere of norms
