  1. Is the perverted faculty argument saved by the principle of totality? A view from Thomistic ethics as a dialectical discipline.Carlos A. Casanova & Ignacio Serrano del Pozo - 2022 - Veritas – Revista de Filosofia da Pucrs 51:109-128.

Some philosophers who hold this view, such as Edward Feser, claim that they can defend the view on purely philosophical grounds by relying on the perverted faculty argument.
