What is the threshold of praiseworthiness? That is, how morally good should an action be in order to be potentially morally praiseworthy? I argue that the threshold of praiseworthiness should be set at actions that fulfill obligations. One may think that this threshold is too low, but this impression is due to the failure to realize that a person may deserve only micro credit for doing what she ought to do. Against the objection that the proposed threshold is too high, I argue that neither morally wrong actions nor merely permissible actions may be praiseworthy.

小额信贷与好评门槛

值得称赞的门槛是多少？也就是说，一个行为在道德上应该有多好才能在道德上受到潜在的赞扬？我认为值得称赞的门槛应该设置在履行义务的行动上。人们可能认为这个门槛太低了，但这种印象是由于没有意识到一个人可能只因为做了她应该做的事而应该得到小额信贷。反对提出的门槛太高的反对意见，我认为既不应该赞扬道德上错误的行为，也不能仅仅赞扬允许的行为。
