Zoë Johnson King, "Moral Easy Street"
Abstract: This talk is about a kind of circumstantial moral luck that I call living on Moral Easy Street. After a brief introduction to the moral luck literature, I explain what it is to live on Moral Easy Street, and I argue that living on Moral Easy Street constitutes good circumstantial moral luck in two respects: (a) denizens of Moral Easy Street enjoy sufficient latitude to conduct their lives largely as they wish, and (b) denizens of Moral Easy Street avoid moral distress and moral injury. The upshot is that circumstantial moral luck is a richer, more complex, and more worrying phenomenon than a quick skim of the existing literature might lead one to think.
