Difference‐Making Under Metaphysical Indeterminacy

Philosophy &Public Affairs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many of the most pressing moral problems we face involve collective harms generated by large numbers of individually insignificant actions. Unlike triggering cases—where a threshold exists such that a single act could be decisive—non‐triggering cases lack any such sharp cutoff.
