Mereological Dominance and the Logic of Better-Than

James Goodrich

Utilitas, 2016, vol. 28, issue 4, 361-367

Abstract: It's been argued that better-than is non-transitive – that there are some value bearers for which better-than fails to generate an acyclic ordering. Michael Huemer has offered a powerful objection to this view, which he dubs ‘The Dominance Argument’. In what follows, I consider the extent to which there is a plausible response to be made on behalf of those who hold that better-than is non-transitive. I conclude that there is.
