	Moral Reasoning (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		As John Broome has argued, recent philosophy has attended too exclusively to “reasons,” to the exclusion of the way that considerations are deployed via argument.
		To be sure, most great philosophers who have addressed the nature of moral reasoning were far from agnostic about the content of the correct moral theory, and developed their reflections about moral reasoning in support of or in derivation from their moral theory.
		Philosophers of the moral sense school lay more stress on innate emotional propensities, such as sympathy with other humans, while classically influenced virtue theorists give more importance to the training of perception and the emotional growth that must accompany it.

		It is also like John Broome’s in focusing on the proportional satisfaction of claims.
		Along the way, the book discusses procedural impartiality, the relationship between fairness and preferences, the relationship between fairness and bargaining power, what fairness requires when different people have valid claims to be given a good which cannot be divided, and how the benefits of teamwork can be fairly apportioned.

		Broome had nothing to do with her creation, but he did have a major role in depicting her as a character through the huge number of Flash tales he wrote.
		Broome also sees TV as a way of spreading lies in society- people often cannot trust what they are hearing on TV in his tales.

	Course Descriptions: Spring 2003 \| CUNY Graduate Center Philosophy Program
		Kant's attack on some philosophers' "claims of reason" and his defense of others, particularly those of morality or practical reason, are defended perhaps more fervently today (e.g., by a generation of John Rawls' students) than in his own time.
		(A number of contemporary philosophers and jurists see merit in Kantian retributivism.) Of course some of Kant's answers to substantive ethical questions prove to be based on empirical misinformation while others are untenable and unwarranted by his more basic theory.
		Philosophers in the field of moral philosophy often deploy concepts that are also used by professional economists-- "equal opportunity," "least advantaged," "maximization," "minimax" "poverty," "rationality," "value," "welfare,"-- in near-complete ignorance of what economics has learned about how these concepts work.

	Alan Millar - Understanding People: Normativity and Rationalizing Explanation - Reviewed by Hallvard Lillehammer, ...
		It is one of the virtues of the book that it brings together a number of related questions from different areas of philosophy that the academic division of labour increasingly forces professional philosophers to address in artificial (and often unhappy) isolation.
		Elsewhere, the claim that certain aspects of personal understanding are essentially normative has been defended by Donald Davidson in the context of his argument that the attribution of propositional attitudes like belief and desire is constrained by the assumption that people are rational believers of the true and lovers of the good.
		In the most general terms, however, philosophers of a naturalist inclination are unlikely to feel irresistibly attracted to any attempt to pile a metaphysics of normative reasons on top of a metaphysics of intentional states against the background of Millar's modest claims on behalf of common-sense psychology.

	SARPN - General
		A strong argument in favour of the headcount ratio over the aggregate headcount is that the former, unlike the latter, satisfies what one might call a ‘Likelihood Principle’, which is the requirement that a poverty measure should convey some information about the probability of encountering a poor person in any given society.
		On the other hand, the aggregate headcount, unlike the headcount ratio, satisfies a principle called the ‘Constituency Principle.’ This is a general principle of well-being comparisons formulated by the economist-philosopher John Broome, and it demands something like the following.
		If a given set of individuals has been identified as the only constituency which is of relevance in ascertaining the ‘goodness’ of a state of affairs, then the ‘goodness’ of alternative states of affairs should be compared only in terms of the interests of the identified constituency in the states under comparison.

		The overall theme of the text is described by the example that Broome uses to engage the reader.
		It is not uncommon in the critique of utilitarianism by moral philosophers to suggest that the evaluation of outcomes can work only if one “smuggles in” principles from a more deontological moral system.
		He draws on the writings of John Paul II, in particular, to point to ways in which this dialogue could be facilitated.

		In the second step of the SCP theorist's argument she must defend the claim that it is morally appropriate to maximize the average or sum of individual's interests.
		The decision to attempt to become a philosopher or a doctor (and indeed what it would like to be either) likely would be experienced differently than it would be by us if the decision were made by someone who suspected they would eventually get around to trying both.
		The evidence to support it is surely indeterminate and one would be wise not to tie one's philosophical project to such a seemingly indeterminable and unlikely possibility.

		But Broome must conclude there is not because there is no explanation of why we ought to do X-type things when those oughts are fundamental.

	MAGPIE 38!
		The search for the Philosopher's Stone ("the stone which is not a stone, a precious thing which has no value, a thing of many shapes, this unknown which is most known of all," according to the alchemist Hermes Trismegistus) consumed Rudolph and his court, and indeed much of Prague nobility.
		It was because John Broome was a terrific writer — arguably among the three-or-so best among many fine writers who worked for DC over the years.
		BROOME: I would usually have a day or two because he would contact me by telephone and, a day or two later, I would come in with some ideas for a story.

		Gareth and Heather Jones looked after me. John Satherley stayed with us on Friday night, and I guess that this was on purpose, since I had said that I wanted to discuss philosophy of chemistry with him.
		Suddenly I was very aware that the issues we were discussing were not just theological, but also philosophical, and in reflecting on this I saw that to be a Christian philosopher is a grave thing.

	Is It Rational to Maximize?
		In the world outside the philosopher's study, every act is a gamble and every person a gambler.
		This is an argument that a friendship lost because of fortuitous opportunity is not the same kind of loss as a friendship "sold out," that a price of $1000 spent just to secure privacy is not the same price as $1000 paid in flmail.
