75Is a person-affecting solution to the nonidentity problem impossible? Axiology, accessibility and additional peopleCanadian Journal of Philosophy 47 (2-3): 200-228. 2017.This paper considers two objections based in axiological considerations against the position that whether a given outcome, or possible future or world, is morally worse than a second world may depend in part on what is going on at a third world. Such a wide-angled approach to determining worseness is critical to the solution I have previously proposed in connection with the nonidentity problem. I argue that both objections fail.
