Although other writers on vulnerability, such as Levine et al. (2004) and Luna (2009), criticize this approach claiming generic guidance about paying “special atten- tion” or giving “special consideration” to something is not useful, the same criticism could also apply to an account that identifies specific categories or relies on some over- riding concept. For example, if we try the specific category or context route (V3) so that, say, we hold “the elderly” vulnerable, how would that guide our actions without reference to established concerns about, for example, physical harms or exploitation? The same holds true of (V4) accounts such as Goodin’s focus on vulnerability as being open to harms to one’s interests, which then requires further analysis of “vital” needs. The best that can be said for such accounts is that each provides something of a heuris- tic, teaching anyone who wants to learn ways in which harms or wrongs might arise.
