Abstract

I greatly appreciated theEnds vs Meanspaper, especially its effort to bring moral dilemmas into economics. I see two main limitations in the current version of the paper: (1) the Save a Life dilemma may mischaracterize Kant"s categorical imperative; (2) the finding of unstable deontological preferences may depend on the dilemmas used. I hope these issues will be resolved, as I think this paper has high potential.
