Solving the Trolley Problem - Harvard University
A Companion to Experimental Philosophy, First Edition. Edited by Justin Sytsma and Wesley Buckwalter. 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Published 2016 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. The Trolley Problem has baffled ethicists for decades (Foot 1978; Thomson 1985; Fischer and Ravizza 1992) and has, more recently, become a focal point for research in moral psychology (Petrinovich, O Neill, and Jorgensen 1993; Greene et al. 2001; Edmonds 2013; Greene 2015). As the Trolley Problem s interdisciplinary history suggests, it is actually two closely related prob-lems, one normative and one descriptive.
the hallowed “doctrine of double effect” may also be viewed with suspicion once its psychological origins are properly understood. Our sensitivity to the means/side‐effect distinction may simply reflect the limitations of our cognitive architecture rather than a deep moral truth.
