Title: Peter Anstey (University of Sydney)
Moral evaluation and the trumping fallacy.

Abstract

This paper presents a theory of first order moral evaluation. The theory,  
it is claimed, is intuitively plausible, empirically tractable and  
revisable. As such it raises a problem for many normative ethical theories.  
The problem arises from the fact that proponents of normative theories,  
such as act utilitarianism, tend to justify their normative principles on  
the basis of cases of moral evaluation. The theory of moral evaluation  
presented here implies that this cannot be done. The implications of the  
theory for virtue ethics and moral particularism are also explored.

Where: S401, Level 4, via Lobby B (or Southern Vestibule), Quadrangle
