To handle value uncertainty. If you don't know your terminal values, you have to discover them somehow.
Is that it? Eliezer employs reflective equilibrium as an epistemological method for figuring out what your terminal values are?
As I understand it, yes.
Or at least how to balance between them. Though there might be more to it than that.
edit: more precisely (in EY's terms), to figure out how to balance the various demands of morality which, as it happens, is included in your terminal values.
