http://bgethics.blogspot.com/2009/01/epistemic-standard.html
A graduate student ethics blog. Bowling green state university. Tuesday, January 27, 2009. I'm looking for feedback on the plausibility of a MINIMAL. My belief that b. Counts as knowledge/epistemically justified only if its being the case that b. Factors into some possible. Explanation of my belief. I don't think it matters whether we talk about knowledge or epistemic justification, though I'm open to disagreement on this point. Also, I think. Then I don't see how MES differs from. Sorry I'm late to this...

There's a man drowning in the pond (I'm jettisoning the children bit. too many knowledge/responsibility problems). I'm on the shore, too far away to swim to get him. But there is a vending-machine-type thing next to me that offers two possible rescue-options for people who are drowning in the pond. The same as Case 1 ex...

Unideal Observers: November 2007

A graduate student ethics blog. Bowling green state university. Saturday, November 24, 2007. For years I've been baffled by the huge mess the Bush administration has made of "the torture issue.". I'm going to lay out a policy for torture (surprise - it's utilitarian) that I think a) any president's administration should hold, and b) any president's administration should keep SECRET. As I'll argue, (b) is essential, and without it, one shouldn't pursue (a). This kind of secrecy condition is what Bush has ...

A graduate student ethics blog. Bowling green state university. Friday, February 20, 2009. To most of us teaching here this is probably not news, but I thought it was worth posting:.

But what should. Certainly, grades aren't just. And if not, what does this mean for grades; or, rather, what do grades mean? Unideal ...

A graduate student ethics blog. Bowling green state university. Monday, December 31, 2007. I'm working on a paper and would like some input on an argument I'm putting together. The thought is basically this:. Here's a nice 'diagram' of the question:. Simplified Model of Instrumental Reasons:. Desires (taken as basic) for X - - - Instrumental reasoning says Y is a good/efficient/whatever way to achieve X - - Reason for agent to Y. Simplified Model of Foundationalism:. Thanks for your help!

A graduate student ethics blog. Bowling green state university. Saturday, July 19, 2008. Tortured Beef, It's What's for Dinner. Let's say we accept an argument similar to a voter irrationality argument, but applied to the meat industry. I won't rehearse the argument in detail, but it's something like:. 2 Given this, no single person can, on their own, have any effect whatsoever on the number of cows killed over a period of time. 3 Thus, eating beef from a factory farm is prima facie better than eating be...
