Broome's argument against value incomparability
Utilitas 16 (2):220-224 (2004)
| Abstract | John Broome has argued that alleged cases of value incomparability are really examples of vagueness in the betterness relation. The main premiss of his argument is ‘the collapsing principle’. I argue that this principle is dubious, and that Broome's argument is therefore unconvincing.
