Introduction Colonialism is associated with many all-too-familiar wrongs: oppression, exploitation, murder, racism, and dehumanization, among others. On one view, the wrong of colonialism is exhausted by the “sum” of these familiar wrongs—wrongs that are not necessarily tied to colonialism, and that may also occur in non-colonial settings. Lea Ypi has recently argued for a different view, according to which there is more to the wrong of colonialism. For Ypi, the colonial takeover and subjugation of political collectives is wrong as such, over and above the familiar wrongs contingently associated which such takeovers. 1 Specifically, Ypi argues that colonialism always instantiates a distinctive kind of procedural wrong, one that rests","PeriodicalId":47999,"journal":{"name":"Philosophy & Public Affairs","volume":"43 1","pages":"312-331"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2015-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/PAPA.12057","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"63562529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Launching the “It’s on Us” initiative to reduce sexual assault, President Obama cited a “one in five” statistic based on the Campus Sexual Assault Study of 2007, funded by the National Institute of Justice, which found that 19 percent of female students experienced sexual assault since entering college. Christopher Krebs, Christine Lindquist, Tara Warner, Bonnie Fisher, and Sandra Martin, “The Campus Sexual Assault (CSA) Study,” Final Report Prepared for the National Institute of Justice (2007), www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/nij/grants/ 221153.pdf. A different picture is suggested by the most recent National Crime Victimization Survey, which found that during the period from 1995 to 2013, “the rate of rape and sexual assault was 1.2 times higher for nonstudents (7.6 per 1,000) than for students (6.1 per 1,000).” Possible explanations of the discrepancy between the statistics include the differing definitions of sexual assault (for example, whether terms like “rape” are used in surveys), the different populations surveyed, and the different ways in which the surveys were carried out.

On April 4, 2011, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) released a “Dear Colleague” letter, which voiced a growing concern at levels of sexual violence on American campuses and reminded universities of their responsibilities under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX), 20 U.S.C. §§ 1681, et seq., www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/letters/colleague-201104.pdf. Enacted in March 2013, the Campus Sexual Violence Elimination Act (“The Campus Save Act”) requires tertiarylevel educational institutions receiving federal funding to educate students and staff on the prevention of sexual violence and assault. On May 1, 2014, an OCR press release named fifty-five universities currently under investigation for failing to comply with","PeriodicalId":47999,"journal":{"name":"Philosophy & Public Affairs","volume":"43 1","pages":"224-253"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2015-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/PAPA.12059","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"63562596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One such tenet, which is embraced by most consequentialists but opposed by many nonconsequentialists, is the notion of interpersonal aggregation. Ethical theories, like classical utilitarianism, that defend interpersonal aggregation hold that in evaluating an action, we should sum the benefits and losses it imposes on different people to obtain an aggregate quantity; this represents the overall goodness of the action’s consequences. The rightness or wrongness of the action depends not on how it affects each individual, but on the net balance of benefits over losses. Aggregative reasoning of this kind often yields counterintuitive implications, especially in cases where it enjoins us to let a few people suffer","PeriodicalId":47999,"journal":{"name":"Philosophy & Public Affairs","volume":"43 1","pages":"175-223"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2015-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/PAPA.12058","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"63562586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the end of that article, I suggested that the justification of democracy rests instead on the fact that democracy is a particularly important constituent of a society in which people are related to one another as social equals, as opposed to social inferiors or superiors.
