Moral Dilemmas qua Limitations of Practical Rationality
Main Article Content
Abstract
In this paper, I attempt to show in what way moral dilemmas can be seen as limits of practical rationality. I distinguish between two types of dilemma: the first type is based in normative requirements that are non defeasible; the second type, prima facie requirements. Then, I try to show in what way a rational solution or right answer can be affected by these types of dilemmas. In addition, I discuss dilemmas with tragic elements.
