casuistry
This term carries a dual nature, shifting between a neutral academic method and a pejorative accusation. In a theological or legal context, it refers to the legitimate application of general moral laws to specific, complex human circumstances to find a just resolution.
In common modern usage, however, the word is almost always used negatively to describe intellectual dishonesty. It suggests a deceptive form of sophistry where a person uses intricate, plausible-sounding logic to rationalize an immoral act or bypass ethical constraints.
