Society for Applied Philosophy Annual Lecture

A Berkeley philosopher on why an obligation owed to one person can rest on what would happen if everyone broke it.

Lecture / talk

At King's College London.

R Jay Wallace of Berkeley on a puzzle that sits under a great deal of moral argument: some wrongs seem wrong because of what would happen if everybody did them - invading privacy, lying for advantage - and yet the obligation not to do them is owed to one particular person. He asks how both can be true at once, which is the fault line between contractualist and rule-consequentialist accounts of the right.
