Title: A Defense of Consequentialism Against James Lenman’s Epistemic Objection
Authors: Frost, Evan
Advisors: McGrath, Sarah
Department: Philosophy
Class Year: 2013
Abstract: James Lenman objects to consequentialism’s usefulness as a decision procedure, claiming that knowable consequences make up too small a portion of total consequences to provide meaningfully large reasons for action. I respond that when we properly think about the consequentialist decision procedure, the reasons knowable consequences provide are decisive.
