Jumping the hurdles of moral progress

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In their work on moral progress, Dan Egonsson and Toni Rønnow-Rasmussen both express a worry concerning possible problems caused by value incommensurability. I show that this worry can be alleviated. This is done by explicating the structure of the concept of moral progress and the structure of value comparatives. With a better understanding of the relevant concepts, it becomes clear that value insommensurability does not pose a dead-end for work on moral progress, but is rather a natural part of the normative domain, and consequently, it is merely one more hurdle to pass in our pursuit of moral progress.

Some Reflections on the Practical Applicability of GIIU
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Post Hoc Interventions: Prospects and Problems. - : the Department of Philosophy, Lund University. - 9789189415607 - 9789189415614 ; , s. 47-53

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This chapter discusses developments of GIIU in different ways. As the chapter tries to outline possible lines of future research, it is by nature exploratory, on the verge of being speculative. We discuss the issue when the bias depends on the score in a non-linear way and outline a test to detect different type biases of this kind. We also discuss issues where candidates are awarded multiple scores, when and how to apply GIIU.

- Population ageing is a fact of all advanced economies. Fewer people are born all the while current members live longer. The support which old people have come to depend on, for example through elderly care and pensions, thus becomes increasingly expensive. This accentuates an assurance problem. Although it has been and still is the case that the young are willing to support the currently old, this support is not unconditional. In return they trust that coming generations will support them one day. Historically pro-old welfare state institutions (e.g., pension systems) have offered individuals this assurance: their claim on future generation to support them has been credible simply by positive economic and demographic development. Economic growth has been a blessing for the cooperation between generations necessary to realise old age support. This paper describes this assurance problem in simple game theoretical terms, argues that is has been neglected in historically prominent justifications of pro-old welfare state institutions, and discusses what can be done to preserve trust in times of population ageing and weak economic growth.

Individually Fitting but Collectively Unfitting Blame

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- People that produce bad outcomes can thereby become the fitting targets of blame, the fitting intensity of which is determined by the badness of the outcomes. In the following paper, I suggest that the amount of blame instances that people are fitting targets of is also determined by the weight of the badness of the outcomes. I use the example of online blame as a paradigmatic case where the amount of blame instances are made targets of risks being excessive, even when each instance of blame is fittingly held and expressed.

Causing Global Warming
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Ethical Theory and Moral Practice. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1386-2820 .- 1572-8447. ; 22:2, s. 399-424
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Do I cause global warming, climate change and their related harms when I go for a leisure drive with my gas-guzzling car? The current verdict seems to be that I do not; the emissions produced by my drive are much too insignificant to make a difference for the occurrence of global warming and its related harms. I argue that our verdict on this issue depends on what we mean by ‘causation’. If we for instance assume a simple counterfactual analysis of causation according to which ‘C causes E’ means ‘if C had not occurred, E would not have occurred’, we must conclude that a single drive does not cause global warming. However, this analysis of causation is well-known for giving counterintuitive results in some important cases. If we instead adopt Lewis’s (2000) analysis of causation, it turns out that it is indeterminate whether I cause global warming (etc.) when I go for a single drive. Still, in contexts where we seek to control or understand global warming, there is a pressure to adopt a more fragile view of this event. When we adopt such a view, it turns out that a single drive does cause global warming (etc.). This means that we cannot like Sinnott-Armstrong (2005) and Kingston and Sinnott-Armstrong (2018) reject the idea that I should refrain from going for a leisure drive simply because such a drive does not cause global warming.

Kollektivt ansvar, kollektiva handlingar och storskaliga problem
- 2018
-
Ingår i: Tidskrift för politisk filosofi. - 1402-2710. ; :2, s. 47-47
-
Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Det verkar rimligt att anta att du endast är moraliskt ansvarig för något om du har åstadkommit detta genom dina handlingar. Utan en handling, inget moraliskt ansvar. Om vi antar att samma sak gäller kollektivt ansvar, så måste vi dra slutsatsen att vi som bidrar till problem som den globala uppvärmningen, utfiskningen, etc. inte är kollektivt ansvariga för dessa problem. Vi som exempelvis bidrar till den globala uppvärmningen utför nämligen inte en kollektiv handling som resulterar i detta problem. Utan en kollektiv handling, inget kollektivt moraliskt ansvar. Istället behöver vi förklara hur individuella agenter (individer, företag, regeringar, etc.) kan vara ansvariga för ett kollektivt utfall.

Kommentar från fyra doktorander vid Lunds universitet : Comments from four doctoral students at Lund University
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Svenska Dagbladet. - 1101-2412.
-
Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- In an earlier article, Inger Enkvist argues that the working conditions for the doctoral students in Sweden are too good since they are employed. We question her arguments and her conclusion. We show that there have not been a decline in the number of doctoral students since the universities started to employ doctoral students. Moreover, we argue that the new policy has improved the doctoral student's possibilities to engage in the research environments at the departments. We also question why it would be a problem when a doctoral student take parental leave, something Enkvist thinks.

Making a vague difference : Kagan, Nefsky and the Sorites Paradox
-
Ingår i: Inquiry (United Kingdom). - 0020-174X.
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In collective harm cases, bad consequences follow if enough people act in a certain way even though no such individual act makes a difference for the worse. Global warming, overfishing and Derek Parfit’s famous case of the harmless torturers are some examples of such harm. Shelly Kagan argues that there is a threshold such that one single act might trigger harm in all collective harm cases. Julia Nefsky points to serious shortcomings in Kagan’s argument, but does not show that his conclusion is incorrect. I argue that our best theories of vagueness (the epistemic view of vagueness, three-valued logic, and supervaluationism) entail that there is a threshold in all collective harm cases. However, my analysis points to another problem with Kagan’s argument: the thresholds are not necessarily perceptible. Given the assumption that only perceptible differences matter morally, passing such a threshold does not necessarily trigger morally relevant harm, pace Kagan. Last, I consider two variants of Kagan’s argument and find both problematic. One controversially assumes that observational relations like ‘cannot perceive the difference between’ are transitive. The other problematically assumes that so called triangulation always is possible.
