SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (in-person & online) – Patrick Tomlin (Warwick University)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Killing vs Headaches: Wide Proportionality and Limited Aggregation \nAbstract: Philosophers who have discussed ‘limited aggregation’ have focussed discussion on cases in which we must choose which of two groups to save – for example\, whether we should save one person’s life\, or save some enormous number of people from a mild headache. According to one influential view\, which I call the Relevance View\, we should save one person’s life in this case\, since headaches are irrelevant to death. In this paper\, I want to examine what this implies for a different set of cases – cases in which we might inflict harm on some in order to save others from harm. Translating the relevance view from ‘whom-to-save’ to ‘harming-to-save’ cases\, I show\, is not straightforward. We need to consider up to four different ‘relevance rules’\, and to consider the relationships between them. I will further argue that considering the Relevance View in these cases reveals something important about two fundamental principles of preventive morality —  that the proportionality principle is logically prior to\, and constrains the operation of\, the necessity principle \nLocation: Edgecliffe G03
