Violent Deaths, Vicious Preferences, and Bare-Differences: A Reply to Hill
Australasian Journal of Philosophy 99 (1):196-201 (2021)
Abstract
ABSTRACT Hill [AJP, 2018] argues that Rachels’s famous bare-difference argument for the moral irrelevance between killing and letting die fails. In this paper, I argue that certain features in Hill’s cases might lead our intuitions astray. I propose new cases and suggest that they support the conclusion that, in itself, intentional killing is morally equivalent to intentional letting-die.Author's Profile
