Animals, future generations, and resource-rational contractualism
Harry R. LloydAbstract
Levine et al. understate the range of folk moral judgments that cannot be easily explained by their contractualist theory of moral cognition (including judgments about future generations and nonhuman animals). On the flipside, Levine et al. also overstate the range of moral judgments that cannot be easily explained by rival deontological or consequentialist theories of moral cognition.
