During this week I have taken on only water, non-calorific flavoured water, and small amounts of salt. It’s been quite the experience. Tasted sweet, literally. Sweet As in, who dumped sugar in my water? Smelled foo...

When Duties Harm | Go Grue!
https://gogrue.wordpress.com/2014/04/09/when-duties-harm
The unofficial group blog of some philosophy graduate students at the university of michigan. Can duties harm us? Can being obligated to do something of itself make a person worse off, at least sometimes? Of course a good friendship is usually not a burden, and having obligations and filling them can indeed be part of what is good. A friendship. Such duties do not even seem. Bad for those who have them. Joseph Raz puts it best:. When do duties enhance our well-being, and when do they detract from it?

The unofficial group blog of some philosophy graduate students at the university of michigan. There’s a kind of pragmatism, call it. That concerns the adoption of languages. More specifically, Carnapian pragmatism, as I am using the term, combines two theses: (1) there are no. Rationally indispensable languages, and (2) the adoption of a language ought to depend on the weight of the various benefits that speaking that language confers on one and one’s community. (1), rules out, for example, the. Contains...

Moral Blindness, Cruelty, and Three Faces of Responsibility | Go Grue!

The unofficial group blog of some philosophy graduate students at the university of michigan. Moral Blindness, Cruelty, and Three Faces of Responsibility. I’ve always thought that there are. Kinds of responsibility discussed in Gary Watson’s seminal Two Faces of Responsibility [2]: the attributive kind, the aretaic kind, and accountability.
