McNaughton and Rawling on the Agent-Relative/Agent-Neutral Distinction
Utilitas 13 (03):350-356 (2001)
| Abstract | In this paper, I criticize David McNaughton and Piers Rawling's formalization of the agent-relative/agent-neutral distinction. I argue that their formalization is unable to accommodate an important ethical distinction between two types of conditional obligations. I then suggest a way of revising their formalization so as to fix the problem. | |||||||||
