An Intrapersonal Addition Paradox
Ethics ( IF 4.6 ) Pub Date : 2019-01-01 , DOI: 10.1086/700085
Jacob M. Nebel

I present a new argument for the repugnant conclusion. The core of the argument is a risky, intrapersonal analogue of the mere addition paradox. The argument is important for three reasons. First, some solutions to Parfit’s original puzzle do not obviously generalize to the intrapersonal puzzle in a plausible way. Second, it raises independently important questions about how to make decisions under uncertainty for the sake of people whose existence might depend on what we do. Third, it suggests various difficulties for leading views about the value of a person’s life compared to her nonexistence.

内在加成悖论

我为这个令人反感的结论提出了一个新的论点。论点的核心是单纯的加法悖论的一个冒险的、内省的类比。由于三个原因,该论证很重要。首先,帕菲特原始谜题的一些解决方案显然不能以合理的方式推广到内省谜题。其次,它提出了独立的重要问题,即如何在不确定的情况下为那些可能依赖于我们所做的事情的人做出决定。第三,与她的不存在相比,它暗示了引导关于一个人生命价值的观点的各种困难。
