A coastal community must decide whether to build new infrastructure (schools, hospitals, housing) in a low-elevation area. Climate scientists agree sea levels are rising but disagree significantly about how fast—some models suggest the area will flood in 60 years, others suggest 150 years, and a few outlier models suggest 300+ years. A city council member argues: “We simply don’t know enough about what future generations will face or need, so we can’t let uncertain predictions paralyze our present development needs.”Evaluate this council member’s use of what is essentially the ignorance argument. Does our author’s analysis support this position? Why or why not?  What do you think our author would likely suggest this community do in this situation?⚠️ Reminder: Submitting any part of this Learning Evaluation created in whole or part using AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, etc.) or AI-enhanced writing/translation platforms (e.g., Grammarly, QuillBot, DeepL, Google Translate, Wordtune, Microsoft Editor, etc.) is a violation of this course’s Academic Integrity policy (see Syllabus).Like other forms of plagiarism, it is considered academic misrepresentation or fraud—because you are submitting work generated by someone or something else as your own.

The chapter states that Immanuel Kant identified certain “imperfect duties.” Which of the following scenarios best illustrates what makes a duty “imperfect” in Kant’s sense?

Our author argues that the nonexistence argument makes a fundamental error about the relationship between moral duties and moral rights. What is this error?

A chemical company’s legal team drafts a defense against future liability claims: “Even if our industrial emissions cause health problems 200 years from now, we bear no responsibility. Our economic activity affects local employment, migration patterns, and birth timing across multiple generations. The specific individuals who will exist in 200 years depend on the entire chain of historical events, including our operations. Those future people wouldn’t exist at all if we had shut down operations today. You cannot claim we harmed people whose very existence depends on our continued operations.”Our author suggests this reasoning is poor because:

The chapter discusses how World War II changed demographics so profoundly that countless children were born who otherwise would never have been conceived. A student applies this logic: “If the United States had entered WWII one year earlier, my grandmother would likely never have met my grandfather at the veterans’ hospital where they met in 1946. So I wouldn’t exist. Does this mean the U.S. decision about when to enter the war couldn’t have harmed me?”What does this question reveal about the different-people argument?

Our author quickly dismisses ethical egoism, calling it “cynical and contemptible.” But consider the practical problem this creates: Many people may not be pure egoists philosophically, but they do prioritize their own economic interests when environmental policies would impose costs on them. A factory owner facing expensive pollution controls, a suburban commuter resisting gas taxes, a retiree opposing renewable energy investments that might reduce pension returns—these aren’t necessarily philosophical egoists, but they’re acting from self-interest.Does our author’s framework provide any resources for addressing this practical problem? Can people who accept duties to future generations still rationally prioritize their present economic interests? Or does the chapter’s dismissal of egoism imply that such prioritization is always morally wrong? ⚠️ Reminder: Submitting any part of this Learning Evaluation created in whole or part using AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, etc.) or AI-enhanced writing/translation platforms (e.g., Grammarly, QuillBot, DeepL, Google Translate, Wordtune, Microsoft Editor, etc.) is a violation of this course’s Academic Integrity policy (see Syllabus).Like other forms of plagiarism, it is considered academic misrepresentation or fraud—because you are submitting work generated by someone or something else as your own.
