PHIL 160 Lecture Notes - Lecture 12: Contractualism
Document Summary
If c. f. is wrong, then f. f. is wrong. If srhaf is wrong then ff is wrong. Seems raulsion contractualism will accept p1 of both. Raulsion agent: (i) raioned (ii) self-interested (iii)behind the veil of ignirance. Raulsion contractualism: you should act in accordance with the rules that would be agreed upon by raulsion agents (seems raulsion agents will reject p2 of both) Carruthers huring animals is bad when it makes you more likely to hurt humans . Maybe c. f. and f. f. won"t end up being diferent in this way. Seems ff of dogs or cats should be ok in this story. Cases where huring animals makes you less likely to hurt humans- animal huring should be encouraged (iv) Carruthers marginal humane have rights- p1 is false. P1 if our immediate relaives were marginal , and had no rights then the state could seize them whenever it was in society"s interests to do so.
