The Common Structure Of Thresholds For Rights And Thresholds For Options, Samantha Brennan
The Common Structure Of Thresholds For Rights And Thresholds For Options, Samantha Brennan
Samantha Brennan
This paper will assume that both rights and options have thresholds. That is to say, I assume rights and options are not absolute. The threshold of a right or an option is the point at which it can be justifiably overridden. If we think that the moral theory which best captures commonsense morality is a version of deontological ethics, the moral theory to which this paper stands to make a contribution is moderate deontology in that the rights and options it contains are moderate versions of rights and options. The question on which it will focus is whether thresholds for …

Moral Lumps, Samantha Brennan
Moral Lumps, Samantha Brennan
Samantha Brennan
Can all goods or bads be broken down into smaller and smaller pieces? Can all goods or bads be added together with some other good or bad to get a larger amount? Further, how does moral significance track the disaggregation and the aggregation of moral goods and bads? In Part 1, I examine the limits placed on aggregation by moderate deontological moral theories. This paper focuses in particular on the work of Judith Thomson and T.M. Scanlon as well as on some of my own past work on the question of aggregation in the context of overriding rights. In Part …

Children's Choices Or Children's Interests: Which Do Their Rights Protect?, Samantha Brennan
Children's Choices Or Children's Interests: Which Do Their Rights Protect?, Samantha Brennan
Samantha Brennan
DOI:10.1093/0199242682.003.0004 The often‐posed dichotomy between the interest and choice theory of rights can obfuscate a proper understanding of children's rights. We need a gradualist model in which the grounds for attributing rights to a being change in response to the development of autonomy. Rights for children initially function to protect their interests but, as they develop into full‐fledged autonomous choosers, rights function to ensure that their choices, even those that do not serve their welfare, are respected. Keywords: autonomy, choice theory, development, interest theory, rights, welfare
