Theorizing about ethics is so much simpler than trying to make ethical judgments in practice. How much is this is because in theorizing we view ethics as a closed, abstract system as opposed to an embodied process?

In the embodied process (such as Gendlin's process ethics) it's harder to overlook the incoherencies we accept in the course of expounding ethics as a static system. You have to work through layers of complexity that don't open until each is attended to be satisfied.
