What is morality for? Contractualism versus global consequentialism and expected choiceworthiness
Falk Lieder, Vanessa Cheung, Maximilian MaierAbstract
Contractualism might not be the only computational-level theory of morality that can unify multiple moral mechanisms. Other moral theories can be combined with resource-rationality in the same way. Extending resource-rational analysis to other potential functions of morality (e.g., global consequentialism), combinations of multiple moral objectives, and additional moral mechanisms might allow us to explain many additional aspects of commonsense morality.
