extending beneficence and egalitarian justice
Inclusive Ethics brings together two ideas which are part of our everyday morality, namely that we have a moral reason to benefit or do good to other beings, and that justice requires these benefits to be distributed equally. Ingmar Persson explores the difficulties of accepting a morality which combines both of these principles.
Two aspects of things being intrinsically valuable for us: well-being and autonomy -- Defence of an inclusive view of benefiting and reasons of beneficence -- Three problems of procreation: replaceability, the asymmetry, and the non-identity problem -- The repugnant conclusion and the non-transitivity of value relations -- The end of life and of consciousness -- The inclusion of non-human animals -- The ground for the justice of equality -- The badness of unjust inequality -- Prioritarianism and its problems -- Some alternative bases of equality -- On the usefulness of the principles of beneficence and justice -- The point of moral philosophy -- Beyond ethical inclusiveness: the philosophy of life.
