Scanlon's states \;Contractualism \;as follows ... an act is wrong if and only if any principle that permitted it would be one that could reasonably be rejected \;[...] \;(or\, equivalently\, if and only if it would be disallowed by any principle that such people could not reasonably reject). \;(Scanlon 1998: 4) I start by making some clarifications to the view\, and then raise some difficulties for Contractualism arising primarily from candidate answers to the question of what it takes to reject a principle and how this constrains the notion of reasonableness operative in Contractualism. I suggest two idealized conceptions of what it is to reject a principle\, and find that Contractualism fares poorly on either.
