Between sentiment and conviction
There really is no contradiction.
To make you agree with me,
I’ll call on the deity
And other examples from fiction.
Michael Smith
The things consequentialists teach
Can really be drawn out of Geach.
About my conclusion
There’s little confusion.*
(The premise, I grant, is a reach.)
- Not none.
Kristie Miller
Identity matters a lot, so
All persons endure. Objects? Not so.
That’s naturalistic
And relativistic,
No kidding! (You might not have thought so.)Denis Robinson
I wonder, can any mere mortal
Survive through a teletransportal?
I’m sure that this fact
And my norms interact,
But is ‘person’ sincerely a sortal?Daniel Nolan
Al Gibbard’s position on norms
Is something to which Daniel warms,
But his worry’s intense
When he tries to make sense
Of particular argument forms.Dave Chalmers
Our standpoints may clash, but the two
Are equal from God’s point of view.
My claim that no one
Should kill kittens for fun
Is lower-case true, but not True.Frank Jackson
There’s only one logical space.
It isn’t coherent to base
All one’s intuitions
On bogus partitions
With no real distinctions to trace.David Bradon-Mitchell and Caroline West
At t, I will be a nonentity
With plans and desires that went to t.
Though I won’t survive,
It’s fine if I strive
For future goods. Who needs identity?Roy Sorensen
Some evidence works when you learn it,
But still is misleading—so spurn it.
You needn’t be drunk
To be swayed by such junk.
Don’t open that envelope! Burn it!Peter Railton
You might have thought all things affective
Were brute (or at least were elective),
But Railton inquires
And finds that desires
Are subject to reason’s directive.Posted by Kenny Easwaran in Uncategorized
