Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

In reply to Roderick T. Long. Right. I have to wonder whether Pettit assumes some generalized anti-consequentialist stricture somewhere, because unless he does, his view is vulnerable to obvious counter-examples. Take any consequentialist political aim…

Women have gained the right to vote and sit in parliament almost everywhere. But they remain underrepresented, especially in the highest offices.

Pettit could reply that those who don’t want the apartheid are being dominated by those who do. But if he were to say that, he’d be in danger of sacrificing the interference/domination distinction he wants.  LikeLike
