The Trolley Problem as a Problem for Libertarians
Utilitas, 2007Many political libertarians argue, or assume, that negative moral duties (duties not to harm others) prevail over positive moral duties (duties to aid others), and that the legal system ought to reflect such pre-eminence. I call into question this strategy for defending a libertarian order. I start by arguing that a successful account of the well-known

THE TROLLEY PROBLEM AND AGGRESSION
Social Philosophy and Policy, 2016Abstract:This essay considers complications introduced by the Trolley Problem to the discussion of whether and when harming some for the sake of helping others would be unjustified.

Think, 2022
For many years, philosophers have argued about the Trolley Problem – but they've also argued about whether the problem ought to interest us. According to some, the artificiality of the situations means that they involve no complicating factors – and so we ought to take our intuitions about them especially seriously.

The Moral of the Trolley Problem

AbstractPart I considered how to determine whether there is a moral difference between killing and letting die per se, but in the two chapters of Part II, the consideration is when it is and when it is not permissible to kill some to save others. Ch. 6 first examines in some detail the arguments John Harris has made for a survival lottery (where we may

We challenge the popular classification of the trolley problem as a series of thought experiments in possible worlds. The trolley world is, in fact, impossible. It is, rather, a fantasy world of role-playing language game within a graphic narrative. The trolley world has all the characteristics of a game that game designers seek to reproduce. Thus, the

Autonomous vehicles, trolley problems, and the law
Ethics and Information Technology, 2019Autonomous vehicles (AVs) have the potential to save tens of thousands of lives, but legal and social barriers may delay or even deter manufacturers from offering fully automated vehicles and thereby cost lives that otherwise could be saved. Moral philosophers use “thought experiments” to teach us about what ethics might say about the ethical behavior ...
