| Summary: |
In choosing between moral alternatives we typically make calculations of the following kind, using the principle of transitivity: A is better than B; B is better than C; therefore A is better than C. Temkin shows that if we want to continue making plausible judgments, we cannot continue to make these assumptions. |
