But since she would not be entitled to it by the rules of the ideal institution, IID implies that it is impossible to justify her claim that she deserves the medal by virtue of her performance here tonight. It appears, then, that difficulties confront the attempt to justify desert claims by appeal to claims about the entitlements created by institutions, actual or ideal. Some philosophers have drawn attention to alleged connections between desert claims and facts about “appraising attitudes” or “responsive att…

   In one conversation, Confucius suggests to his students Zilu and Yan Hui that they each tell what they would most like to do. Zilu says that he would like to share his horses and carriages, his clothing and furs, with his friends, and if they damage them, to bear them no ill will. Yan Hui says he would like to refrain from bragging about his own abilities, and to not exaggerate his own accomplishments. When they ask the Master what he would most like to do, Confucius replies that he would like to bring peace and contentment to the aged, to share relationships of trust and confidence with his f…

   ( Sz 40) Selfishness refers to people’s drive to fulfill their feelings and wants, which can override their motivation to follow moral norms. Blinkering refers to an inability to grasp the correct patterns. The motivational structure Dai describes ensures that people are motivated to act according to what they judge to be the correct patterns, but their judgment can be mistaken. To avoid blinkering, Dai emphasizes the importance of learning, particularly from the teachings of the sages. To avoid selfishness, he believes that cultivating reverence ( jing 敬) is essential, as it allows us to comb…

    Compared with early Mohist ethics, the Dialectics specify more precisely what is meant by “inclusive” care, indicating that we are to have an equal degree of care for all, using the same phrase that in Mohist geometry refers to two equal lengths: “Inclusive care is equal; care for each one is equal” (EC13). At the same time, the texts clarify that the practice of inclusive care does not entail having equal obligations toward all or treating everyone alike. The degree to which we are to seek to promote others’ welfare depends on our relationship to them. Besides these clarifications, later Mohi…
