摘要

人口伦理学研究的是将永远活着的总人数与其生活质量之间的权衡。但现代宇宙学中被广泛接受的理论认为时空可能是无限的。在这种情况下,它的人口也可能是无限的,因此人口伦理的数量/质量权衡不再有意义。相反,我们面临的问题是如何从道德上评价分散在时间和空间中的无限人口。我提出时空Cesàro平均效用作为一种方法来进行这种评估,并公理化地表征它。

Population ethics in an infinite universe
Population ethics studies the tradeoff between the total number of people who will ever live, and their quality of life. But widely accepted theories in modern cosmology say that spacetime is probably infinite. In this case, its population is also probably infinite, so the quantity/quality tradeoff of population ethics is no longer meaningful. Instead, we face the problem of how to ethically evaluate an infinite population of people dispersed throughout time and space. I propose spatiotemporal Cesàro average utility as a way to make this evaluation, and axiomatically characterize it.
