Is a person-affecting solution to the nonidentity problem impossible? Axiology, accessibility and additional people
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 January 2020
Abstract
This paper considers two objections based in axiological considerations against the position that whether a given outcome, or possible future or world, is morally worse than a second world may depend in part on what is going on at a third world. Such a wide-angled approach to determining worseness is critical to the solution I have previously proposed in connection with the nonidentity problem. I argue that both objections fail.
