Problems with Forfeiture
In Total Collapse: The Case Against Responsibility and Morality. Cham: Springer Verlag. pp. 27-42 (2018)
Abstract
The Forfeiture theory of killing under Non-consequentialism, forfeiture theory, has serious problems. At the heart of morality is an Forfeitureattempt to tell people how to behave when there is conflict (for example, threats and violence). If forfeiture is the best non-consequentialist theory and it fails to provide an adequate account of conflict, then non-consequentialism fails at a task that is central to morality.Author's Profile
