Moral uncertainty

Moral uncertainty. Bykvist, K. Philosophy Compass, 12(3):e12408, March, 2017.

What should we do when we are not certain about what we morally should do? There is a long history of theorizing about decisionmaking under empirical uncertainty, but surprisingly little has been written about the moral uncertainty expressed by this question. Only very recently have philosophers started to systematically address the nature of such uncertainty and its impacts on decisionmaking. This paper addresses the main problems raised by moral uncertainty and critically examines some proposed solutions.
