According to one influential view, which I call the Relevance View, we should save one person\u2019s 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 \u2013 cases in which we might inflict harm on some in order to save others from harm. Translating the relevance view from \u2018whom-to-save\u2019 to \u2018harming-to-save\u2019 cases, I show, is not straightforward. We need to consider up to four different \u2018relevance rules\u2019, 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 &#8212; \u00a0that the proportionality principle is logically prior to, and constrains the operation of, the necessity principle<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Location:<\/strong> Edgecliffe G03<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: Killing vs Headaches: Wide Proportionality and Limited Aggregation Abstract: Philosophers who have discussed \u2018limited aggregation\u2019 have focussed discussion on cases in which we must choose which of two groups&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","_tribe_events_is_hybrid":"","_tribe_events_is_virtual":"","_tribe_events_virtual_video_source":"","_tribe_events_virtual_embed_video":"","_tribe_events_virtual_linked_button_text":"","_tribe_events_virtual_linked_button":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_embed_at":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_embed_to":[],"_tribe_events_virtual_show_on_event":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_on_views":"","_tribe_events_virtual_url":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[20],"class_list":["post-12470","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","hentry","tribe_events_cat-ceppa-talk","cat_ceppa-talk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.st-andrews.ac.uk\/philevents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/12470","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.st-andrews.ac.uk\/philevents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.st-andrews.ac.uk\/philevents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tribe_events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.st-andrews.ac.uk\/philevents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.st-andrews.ac.uk\/philevents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/12470\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12625,"href":"https:\/\/www.st-andrews.ac.uk\/philevents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/12470\/revisions\/12625"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.st-andrews.ac.uk\/philevents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12470"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.st-andrews.ac.uk\/philevents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12470"},{"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.st-andrews.ac.uk\/philevents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events_cat?post=12470"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
