Basic Non-Human Good |
Non-Basic, Non-Human Good |
|
Basic Human Good |
Basic human good has priority because of right of survival. (Humans need to clear wilderness to grow food) |
Basic human good has priority because a basic good has priority over a non basic good. Cutting back branches on a tree to prevent them from breaking off and killing school children |
|
Non-Basic Human Good |
The basic, non-human good has priority because a basic good has priority over a non-basic good. Ex: I ought not cut down my trees to pave over my backyard and park my car. |
Toss-up. Some non-basic goods have priority over others. I may, for example, have the right to deprive a non-human of some good in order to preserve an important (but not basic) cultural or historical good. |
