This article assesses two main versions of moral purism and shows that they are implausible. The first version claims that it is always impermissible to choose an option that results in a bad states of affairs, while the second version claims that it is always impermissible to choose an option that is wrong, even if it is only prima facie wrong. I contend that both versions are incomplete, in the sense that they are unable to provide practical guidance for cases in which all available options result in bad states of affairs, or in which all available options are prima facie wrong.]]></p></abstract>

Este artículo evalúa dos versiones principales del purismo moral y muestra que ellas son imposibles. La primera versión afirma que es siempre impermisible escoger una opción que resulte en malos estados de cosas, mientras que la segunda versión afirma que es siempre impermisible escoger una opción que está mal, incluso su está tan solo prima facie mal. Yo sostengo que ambas versiones son incompletas en el sentido de que son incapaces de proveer una guía práctica para los casos en los que todas las opciones disponibles resultan en malos estados de cosas o en los que todas las opciones disponibles son prima facie malas.]]></p></abstract>
