The relevance of metaphysics to bioethics: A reply to Earl Conee
Mind 109 (434):275-279 (2000)
| Abstract | We shall find that the metaphysical views offered on behalf of moral conclusions about abortion do nothing in defence of those conclusions. Other disputable assumptions separate each moral conclusion from the invoked metaphysical view. It is the defensibility of the other assumptions that is crucial. No metaphysical view cited on behalf of a moral conclusion substantially advances the argument in favour of the conclusion. | |||||||||
