American philosopher who has developed the second-person standpoint as the foundation of morality — moral obligations are fundamentally addressed from one person to another.
The Second-Person Standpoint: morality is grounded in the second-person standpoint — the standpoint of address, of holding others accountable. Moral obligations are claims that one person makes on another, not facts about maximizing value. Welfare and Rational Care: welfare is what we would want for someone we genuinely care for.
