Abstract

: A straightforward way to handle moral uncertainty is simply to follow the moral theory in which you have most credence. This approach is known as My Favourite Theory. In this paper, I argue that, in some cases, My Favourite Theory prescribes choices that are, sequentially, worse in expected moral value than the opposite choices according to each moral theory you have any credence in. In addition, this problem generalizes to other approaches that avoid intertheoretic comparisons of value, such as My Favourite Option, the Borda Rule, Variance Normalization and the Principle of Maximizing Expected Normalized Moral Value.

关于我最爱理论的再思考
:处理道德不确定性的一个简单方法就是遵循你最信任的道德理论。这种方法被称为“我最喜欢的理论”。在本文中,我认为,在某些情况下,根据你所相信的每一种道德理论,我的偏好理论规定的选择在预期道德价值上依次比相反的选择差。此外,这个问题推广到其他避免理论间价值比较的方法,如我的偏好选择、博尔达规则,方差归一化与期望归一化道德价值最大化原则。
