The description of the debate over conscience in the preceding chapters underscored the importance of a workable account of disagreement for resolving this debate. A few different approaches to considerations of conscience emerged and led to the demarcation of two clusters of positions: one which in which something other than a professional’s conscience is normative for their practice and another which allows conscience to play a primary role. In carving up the argumentative landscape in this manner, positions in these clusters were described as gravitating toward poles. There are two advantages of relying on such a metaphor: first, it allows for more flexibility than lists of position suggests; and, second, it leaves open a space for positions in the debate which fall somewhere in the middle—where the magnetic force of either pole is insufficient to bring a position into its direct orbit.
