Well-Being Counterfactualist Accounts of Harm and Benefit. Carlson, E., Johansson, J., & Risberg, O. Australasian Journal of Philosophy, 99(1):164–174, January, 2021.

Paper doi abstract bibtex Suppose that, for every possible event and person who would exist whether or not the event were to occur, there is a well-being level that the person would occupy if the event were to occur, and a well-being level that the person would occupy if the event were not to occur. Do facts about such connections between events and well-being levels always suffice to determine whether an event would harm or benefit a person? Many seemingly attractive accounts of harm and benefit entail an affirmative answer to this question, including the widely held Counterfactual Comparative Account (CCA). In this paper, however, we argue that all such accounts will be unsuccessful.
