Larry Arnn

 Larry Arnn has several online videos, and I have watched many of them. Concerning ethics, he comes across as a dogmatist (Not an ideologue, but an dogmatist that is an epistemological optimist asserting that humans can know things, and can know objective reality, and are able to gain and assign praise and blame to about any moral action, and that honest, reasoned, verbal characterization of the said action is morally true and certain.)

Arnn appears to be an Aristotelian ethicist. I am not as optimistic--as he is--about his positive claims to having grasped ethical truth as acquired knowledge, but he probably is correct most of the time, and his ethical judgments about people and actions should be binding in most instances.
