This study examines the grammar of moral persuasion that leads to moral outlook transformation, exploring Cora Diamond's insights in the 'difficulty of reality' (2008) and Wittgenstein's concept of aspect change. Using J. M. Coetzee's The Lives of Animals, Diamond illustrates the gulf between the character's experiences and the audience's interpretive deflections, highlighting the limitations of rational arguments in moral persuasion. Drawing on Wittgenstein, Diamond argues that we should imaginatively consider what seems nonsense as sense and understand the speaker's intention to communicate. By comparing how reasons work in ethics to Wittgenstein's methods, this study emphasizes both the difficulty educators face in persuading students to notice aspects they are blind to and the responsibility of educators to acknowledge seemingly nonsensical sentences uttered in children's voices. It underscores the role of imaginative engagement and educators' responsibility to share children's sensitivities to our shared world in ethical and pedagogical approaches to moral persuasion.
