(From chapter 36 of On What Matters) Consequentialism is good –1~ Actor specificity – A~ Aggregation – every policy benefits some and harms others, so side constraints freeze action. B~ States lack wills or intentions since policies are collective actions. C~ No act-omission distinction—governments are responsible for everything in the public sphere, so inaction is implicit authorization of action: they have to yes/no bills, which means everything collapse to aggregation. D~ Actor-specificity first since different agents have different ethical standings. Link turns calc indicts because the alt would be no action.2~ No intent-foresight distinction – A~ Choosing to omit is an act itself since a consequence becomes part of our deliberation once we foresee it, so it becomes intrinsic to our action B~ Intuition – Else states wouldn’t ban murder since it’s not their responsibility, and I wouldn’t be culpable for leaving poisoned dog food outside for my pet to eat. Outweighs – All moral statements, even modus ponens are based on intuitions. | 9/18/21 |
