摘要

在巴内特2017年的论文《没有免费的午餐》中，答案是肯定的:即使是微小的贡献也能产生与道德相关的影响。为了捍卫这个答案，Barnett提出了一个反对观点，即微小的贡献不会产生任何影响。我认为我们应该同时拒绝巴奈特和他的对手的观点。我提出了另一种解释，它反映了微小贡献的结果的模糊性，并且在一系列情况下，这些贡献是否会产生任何影响是不确定的。

Do tiny contributions make a difference? Reply to Barnett

Barnett’s 2017 paper ‘No free lunch’, the answer is ‘yes’: even tiny contributions can make a morally relevant difference. To defend this answer, Barnett raises an objection against the rival view that tiny contributions never make any difference. I argue that we should reject both Barnett’s and the rival view. I propose an alternative account that reflects the vagueness at play in the outcome of tiny contributions and entails that, in a range of cases, it is indeterminate whether these contributions make any difference.
