In Defense of Comparability: Reply to Carlson and Risberg

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In “The Case for Comparability,” we argue that every comparative expression “F$F$” obeys Comparability: if two things are at least as F$F$ as themselves, then one of them must be at least as F$F$ as the other. One of our arguments appeals to the apparent validity of the Strong Monotonicity schema: x$x$ is F$F$; y$y$ is not F$F$; so, x$x$ is ...

The Form of Agency

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Philosophers often think agency is essentially connected with rationality, intention, or control.

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Robert Nozick doubted forms of consequentialism that employ so‐called “agent‐relative value” because he found them “gimmicky.” This doubt has been sharpened by Don Regan, Mark Schroeder, and others into the objection that agent‐relative value lacks the practical importance we associate with good simpliciter.
