The Nature of Desert Claims: Rethinking What it Means to Get One's Due

Kevin Kinghorn

4.9/5 (27806 ratings)

Description:"Common language suggests that we think the concept "desert" does an enormous amount of work in justifying positive or negative treatment of others. But what is it exactly to deserve some outcome? Smith and Sidgwick emphasized that sentiments like gratitude and resentment accompany our desert claims. But desert claims carry the assumption that our sentiments are appropriate. As to what "appropriateness" amounts to, and why deserved/appropriate treatment is valuable, the received wisdom on desert is that appropriateness is a matter of proportionality, or "fittingness," between treatment and desert basis--with the obtaining itself of this proportionality having noninstrumental value. However, I argue for an alternative model for understanding desert, in which deserved treatments are instrumentally valuable in that they lead to a shared acknowledgement of a person's traits/actions and how these traits/actions have affected others within a community. I show that my model better captures the core concern common to everday desert claims: specifically, a concern for a shared narrative, which we recognize as necessary for healthy relationships moving forward"--We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
