It may be argued that even if this stringent principle follows from Scanlon's contractualism, that is not a problem for the theory. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Two additional ideas are "contractarianism" and "contractualism" -- distinctive positions in moral philosophy that are respectively associated with David Gauthier and Thomas ( "Tim") ❋ Unknown (2009)
Contractualism -- The term "contractualism" applies to theories that focuses on reasonableness or justifiability to others. ❋ Unknown (2009)

(This represents an advantage of contractualism over naïve versions of Kantian contractualism, which reject all consequentialist reasons and thus make it very difficult to explain why the consequences of our actions have any moral significance at all.) ❋ Unknown (2009)
This seems to place contractualism at a comparative disadvantage. ❋ Unknown (2009)
There is already a huge literature surrounding Scanlon's contractualism. ❋ Unknown (2009)
