Parity versus Ignorance. Schulz, M. Philosophical Quarterly, 73(4):1183–1204, 2023. doi abstract bibtex Why are hard decisions hard? According to the incomparabilists, hard choices are hard because the options cannot be compared. Proponents of parity hold that hard choices are hard because the options can be compared but only in terms of a fourth value relation - parity - in addition to the three standard relations: better, worse, and equally good. Others claim that hard choices are hard because it is vague (or indeterminate) how the options relate in terms of the three standard relations. Lastly, there is the epistemicist. For the epistemicist, hard choices are hard because one is irresolvably ignorant about how the options compare. In the debate about hard choices, epistemicism is often mentioned but rarely defended. The present paper is a contribution to closing this gap. © 2023 The Author(s). Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of The Scots Philosophical Association and the University of St Andrews.
