Abstract Caspar Hare presents a compelling argument for “taking the sugar” in cases of opaque sweetening: you have no reason to take the unsweetened option, and you have some reason to take the sweetened one. I argue that this argument fails—there is a perfectly good sense in which you do have a reason to take the unsweetened option. I suggest a way to

Infinite ethics and the limits of impartiality

Noûs, EarlyView.
Abstract Beneficence—the part of morality concerned with promoting people's well‐being—is widely thought to be both agent‐neutral and impartial: it prescribes a common aim to all, and does not favor some individuals over others.

Aggregation and the Structure of Value

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Roughly, the view I call “Additivism” sums up value across time and people. Given some standard assumptions, I show that Additivism follows from two principles. The first says that how lives align in time cannot, in itself, matter. The second says, roughly, that a world cannot be better unless it is better within some period or another.

Risk, Overlap, and Two Forms of Aggregation

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we introduce a new class of cases to the debate on rescue dilemmas and whether to save the greater number. We argue that situations involving both risk and overlap shine a new light on some of the most important issues within this discussion.

A certainty‐weighted, belief‐based model of political attitudes: A Bayesian analysis of American public attitudes toward the Affordable Care Act

Political Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study proposes a novel, certainty‐weighted account of the process by which political beliefs shape political attitudes. Building upon expectancy‐value frameworks, this paper introduces belief certainty as a moderator of belief impact. A Bayesian partial‐pooling approach is used to test a model positing how beliefs about what the Patient ...
