Actual Preferences, Actual People
Utilitas, 1991Maximizing want-satisfactionper seis a relatively unattractive aspiration, for it seems to assume that wants are somehow disembodied entities with independent moral claims all of their own. Actually, of course, they are possessed by particular people. What preference-utilitarians should be concerned with is how people's lives go—the fulfilment of their

In natural languages the term `actually' is used ambiguously. The author formalizes propositional and quantified modal logics with indices ascribed to the modal operator of necessity and to the `actuality operator', which should make it possible to avoid the ambiguities. Both systems, together with extensions of six systems of standard modal logic, are

Abstract The work of Frank Jackson has been important to at least two central debates in consequentialist ethical theory: (1) between possibilism and actualism and (2) between objective consequentialism and expectabilism (or a variety of subjective consequentialism).

Abstract As opposed to other things one does or can do with text, its “actual reading” is defined here as the actualization of scriptive (hence phonetic) signals in the construction of its aesthetic as well as semantic force. The silent sounding of literary letters is the base-line of textual generation, thrown into relief by contrast ...

“Actual” and “actually” are fundamental terms of ontology. “Actually p” is logically equivalent to “p” and to “It is true that p”; that is, “p if and only if actually p” is a necessary truth. That is a position taken in this book. During the “modal metaphysics” boom of the 1970s and 1980s, however, it was argued by David Lewis, in ways that commanded ...

This collection of papers consolidates the observation that linguistic change typically is actualized step by step: any structural innovation being introduced, accepted, and generalized, over time, in one grammatical environment after another, in a progression that can be understood by reference to the markedness values and the ranking of the ...
