Scheffler's challenge is that while a justification for an agent-centered prerogative can be identified in the "independence of the personal point of view," none can be identified for any agent-centered restrictions. An agent-centered prerogative does not conflict with the intuitive idea that it cannot be wrong to perform an act when so acting would be part of the best state of affairs that could occur.

IV

As I indicated earlier, my proposal will be that a rationale for some form of agent-centered restrictions is likelier to emerge if we approach ethics from the point of view of individual moral responsibility. In some form or other this suggestion is not new, and Scheftler explicitly considers a version of it. It is instructive to see why various versions are nonstarters.
