New substack on utilitarian ethics: Good Thoughts

Abstract

Hi everyone, I just wanted to introduce my new substack as of possible interest to folks here.  I see that Pablo has already shared my post on ‘beneficentrism’, which is the one most explicitly relevant to EA.  Some might also enjoy my latest post on Theory-Driven Applied Ethics, which is basically my attempt to make sense of how utilitarians can do bioethics (or applied ethics more broadly) in an interesting, non-trivial way.  You can also see my debate with Michael Huemer on utilitarianism, with associated reflections on the role of intuitions in moral philosophy.
