The Quality of Gooditude
In this review essay, I first analyze the main tenets of Larry Temkin’s Rethinking the Good and, in particular, his claim that the goodness of state of affairs may not be transitive. I examine one of the key examples of the book, and how it is intended to underwrite this claim. Next I describe the d...

| 520 | |a In this review essay, I first analyze the main tenets of Larry Temkin’s Rethinking the Good and, in particular, his claim that the goodness of state of affairs may not be transitive. I examine one of the key examples of the book, and how it is intended to underwrite this claim. Next I describe the difference between the threat of non-transitivity and the idea of incommensurability. I also consider the plausibility of what Temkin calls the Essentially Comparative View, and explore possible responses to examples of seeming non-transitivity. I also raise some doubts regarding Temkin’s interpretation of ‘the separateness of persons’ and Rawls’ complaints against utilitarians. Finally, I envisage whether Temkin’s theoretical perspective helps us understand practical dilemmas that organizations such as the World Health Organization face. | ||
