I then completed their chapters on population ethics and theories of well-being, and wrote a new chapter outlining some basic arguments for utilitarianism. More to come soon!For more traditional academic publications:* Parfit’s Ethics appeared in print with Cambridge University Press. (Summary here.)* ‘Pandemic Ethics and Status Quo Risk’ (summarized here) was accepted by Public Health Ethics.* ‘Negative Utility Monsters’ was published in Utilitas.I’m also pretty excited about various works-in-progress that are currently under review, especially my new paradox of deontology…Blog posts:Normative Ethics* The Cost of Contraints — sets out the core of my “new paradox of deontology”.
