The 108th Phileth Seminor Professor Tomoji Shogenji (Rhode Island College, U.S.A.) How to Get the Most out of Your Life and still Live Morally -- Ratifiability (No Regrets) Theory of Rational Decision -- Abstract：In order to get the most out of our life in the sense of maximizing our personal well-being, it seems we cannot live morally all the time since under some conditions an immoral action has the highest expected utility among available alternatives even after we take into consideration the risk of getting caught and punished. This paper proposes a theoretical resolution of this apparent conflict between personal well-being and morality. The guiding idea is the ratifiability theory of rational decision, according to which rationality demands that we avoid taking any action we know we will regret. I argue that we can live with no regrets so that we prefer no other life to it from the standpoint of personal well-being, while in full and voluntary compliance with morality. 12th January 2012, 18:30-20:00 Hokkaido University, Faculty House Enreisou, The First Conference Room contact: yamada[@]let.hokudai.ac.jp (Proffesor Tomoyuki Yamada, Hokkaido University) |
