The Paradox of Duties to Oneself
Australasian Journal of Philosophy 98 (4):691-702 (2020)
Abstract
Philosophers have long argued that duties to oneself are paradoxical, as they seem to entail an incoherent power to release oneself from obligations. I argue that self-release is possible, both as a matter of deontic logic and of metaethics.
