  1. Rethinking Rethinking the Good.Larry S. Temkin - 2012 - Journal of Moral Philosophy 12 (4):479-538.

Many subjective states are too. But similar (...)

It had better be that we can, otherwise much ordinary and intuitive talk that we would like to vindicate – say, about free persons being freer than slaves – will turn out to be false or meaningless. Second, in what ways is freedom valuable, and how is this value measured? It matters, for (...)
