Abstract

GARRETA LECLERCQ, Mariano. Moral Deliberation, Belief and Acceptance. Anal. filos. [online]. 2018, vol.38, n.1, pp.5-32. ISSN 1851-9636.

This paper is aimed at proving that in certain contexts of action there may be a cleavage between the moral knowledge of an agent and the moral justification of her actions. I will argue that this is so when two conditions obtain: first, acting on the basis of false beliefs may end-up being very costly in terms of the welfare of those affected; and second, even if low, the probability of such negative upshots are significant or not trivial. I shall claim that this cleavage between knowledge and justification of actions has important consequences for the structure of moral deliberation.

Keywords : Justification of Belief; Justification of Action; Cost of Error; Pragmatic Encroachment; Acceptance.
