I love this piece—super well argued. Your argument applies to virtue ethics too if you replace “RIGHTS” with any virtue claimed to be intrinsically valuable by the virtue ethicist.
Good point, and a nice addition to the fictionalist reasoning. I would love to see a ‘fictionalist virtue ethics’ in addition to a fictionalist deontology.
