Fake Preferences


Mere Goodness collects three sequences of blog posts on human value: “Fake Preferences” [this sequence] (on failed attempts at theories of value), “Value Theory” (on obstacles to developing a new theory, and some intuitively desirable features of such a theory), and “Quantified Humanism” (on the tricky question of how we should apply such theories to our ordinary moral intuitions and decision-making).
