Document Details : Title: Part of us Subtitle: The Possibility of Other-Sacrificing Author(s): ZHUANG, Xuanpu Journal: Ethical Perspectives Volume: 31 Issue: 4 Date: 2024 Pages: 247-267 DOI: 10.2143/EP.31.4.3294101 Abstract : I argue that our relationships with others permit us to count our intimates as ‘part of us’ in some cases. These relationships are not constituted by a morally significant history of interactions but our associations with others. To have an association with others is to have a strong connection to make you and others counted as a community in a certain context, i.e., we could count them as ‘part of us’. If so, some permissible moral options including both other-favouring and other-sacrificing are supported by the same reasoning behind the types of self-favouring and self-sacrificing. |
