Imperceptible Harms and Benefits Paperback
The papers collected here represent the most recent work on a much- neglected problem in practical reasoning. It is perhaps better to characterize the problem as a collection of puzzles or paradoxes, since those who deny the existence (or possibility) of imperceptible decrements (or increments) face problems no less perplexing than those who affinn their existence. It is the problem of imperceptible harms and benefits.
I use these brief introductory pages to familiarize the reader with the basic set of problems examined in this collection. The puzzles and paradoxes combine very practical and pressing worries about our obligations to relieve starvation, mitigate suffering and conserve resources, with deep metaethical worries about the nature of practical rationality. Most of us think that an action cannot be wrong if its effects are entirely and always imperceptible.- Jonathan Glover's
