[Serious] Moral Obligations toward Possible Worlds
#2
RE: Moral Obligations toward Possible Worlds
I’m not sure that we can be morally obligated to a ‘possible world’. The term is far too broad. We can be morally obligated to a potential world, in the sense of striving for a world we’ed like to see, but how can we know what moral obligations we have towards a world where, say, the Arcturian squid creatures have taken over?
