Questioning the significance of the non-identity problem in applied ethics: a reply to Tony Hope
Abstract
In this paper I reply to Tony Hope’s response to my non-identity paper, aiming to clarify the nature of my objections, and also to address, briefly, Hope’s suggestion that the implications of my view are that any book written for a lay audience ought to seek to present a ‘balanced overview’. Essentially, I suggest that there may be a pro tanto consideration in favour of such an approach, but this would only be one consideration, to be weighed against competing considerations.
