Roderick Chisholm on Ethics - Dictionary of Arguments
II 277 Ethics: criterion must not presuppose the accuracy of further purposes - therefore question of the ultimate purpose. II 279 Ultimate Purpose/Moore/Brentano: "The best you can do" (sum of good) - requires immediate evidence - we must first know how to recognize good. >Good. II 276 Ethics/Chisholm: intuitive approach - Vs: obscure absolute values - Object of value predicates is always a fact. >Noncognitivism, >Emotivism, >Pareto-optimum. II 286 Intrinsic Value: is only established if reflection of all good and bad is known in all possible worlds. >Possible worlds. KollerVsChisholm: it is wrong to look for the criteria only in the purposes. >Criteria, >Purposes. II 295 Pareto Principle/Strong/Ethics/Koller: the condition where at least one individual is better off and none is worse off is always preferable - Vs: this is controversial and not evident. II 297 VsAltruism: in a shortage of means mutual benevolence is limited - therefore usually no matching assessment of situations. >Altruism. Koller, Peter. Von der Vergeblichkeit des Bemühens, die Ethik auf eine Vorstellung intrinsischer Werte zu gründen. In: M.David/L. Stubenberg (Hg) Philosophische Aufsätze zu Ehren von R.M.
