But for the Grace of God: Abortion and Cognitive Disability, Luck and Moral StatusSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2016
Jonathan Surovell
Many theories of moral status that are intended to ground pro-choice views on abortion tie full moral status to advanced cognitive capabilities. Extant accounts of this kind are inconsistent with the intuition that the profoundly cognitively disabled have full moral status. This paper improves upon these extant accounts by combining an anti-luck condition with Steinbock’s stratification of moral s...... hiện toàn bộ

The Argumentative Structure of Persuasive DefinitionsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 11 - Trang 525-549 - 2008

This can be changing harmful practices and traditions like honour killing, child marriage, genital mutilation and political corruption. Furthermore, a wrong or insufficient ...... hiện toàn bộ
Modelling in Normative EthicsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2022
Joe Roussos
This is a paper about the methodology of normative ethics. I claim that much work in normative ethics can be interpreted as modelling, the form of inquiry familiar from science, involving idealised representations. I begin with the anti-theory debate in ethics, and note that the debate utilises the vocabulary of scientific theories without recognising the role models play in science. I characteris...... hiện toàn bộ
