ABSTRACT

But, of course, as the previous discussion makes plain, I believe that there could be such a reason. In particular, if the same people would exist in each outcome, and they would each be better off in one of the outcomes than the other, then, in accordance with the Personal Dominance Principle, I would regard the outcome in which they were all better off as better than the other outcome, regarding utility, regardless of how the two outcomes compared in accordance with either the Spatial or Temporal Dominance Principles.
