In the study of utilitarian morality, the sacrificial dilemma paradigm has been the dominant approach for years. However, to address some of the most pressing issues in the current research literature, the present studies adopt an alternative approach by using a minimal group paradigm in which participants have to make decisions about the allocatio...

When new ideas or curriculum find their way into schools, it is the teachers’ job to transform them into teachable units. Transformations demand ongoing choices in dilemmas between structure and improvisation.

Trolley dilemmas contrast deontological (principled) moral concerns with consequentialist (outcome based) moral reasoning. Subjects were asked to respond to trolley dilemmas in a forced choice format and e...

We present the inconsistency-adaptive deontic logic DPr, a nonmonotonic logic for dealing with conflicts between normative statements. On the one hand, this logic does not lead to explosion in view of normative conflicts such as OA ∧ O ∼A, OA ∧ P ∼A or even OA ∧ ∼OA. On the other hand, DPr still verifies all intuitively reliable inferences valid in...
