Elinor Mason's research page


My main interests are in moral philosophy. I am currently working on projects concerning

• consequentialism (I'm defending a thorough-going subjective form of consequentialism).

• hedonism (I'm for it).

• moral responsibility (I argue that on a good compatibilist account, responsibility must be understood as completely dependent on normative theory - so we have moral responsibility, epistemic responsibility, aesthetic responsibility and so on, but there is no responsibility simpliciter). I'm interested in many issues related to moral responsibility and normative theory, e.g. coercion and punishment.
  

• externalism about moral reasons (I'm for it - it helps a lot with consequentialism but it's true anyway).

• value pluralism (I'm against it, though I am for various other sorts of pluralism).

• feminism (I'm for it), and false consciousness (I'm against it).
