Contractarianism and Secondary Direct Moral Standing for Marginal Humans and Animals
Res Publica 19 (2):1-16 (2013)
Abstract
It is commonly thought that neo-Hobbesian contractarianism cannot yield direct moral standing for marginal humans and animals. However, it has been argued that marginal humans and animals can have a form of direct moral standing under neo-Hobbesian contractarianism: secondary moral standing. I will argue that, even if such standing is direct, this account is unsatisfactory because it is counterintuitive and fragile.Author's Profile
