“…Indeed, we think that explaining the supervenience of the normative on the natural remains one of the deepest problems facing non-naturalistic realism, and 39. Emergentist non-naturalism usefully contrasts with the naturalistic form of emergentism defended by Ryan Stringer (2018). On Stringer's view, normative properties are a novel, emergent class of natural properties, as opposed to something inconsistent with naturalism.…”

The past few decades have witnessed an extraordinary revival of interest in metanormative non-naturalism. Despite this interest, it is still unclear how to understand the distinctive metaphysical commitments of this view. We illustrate the relevant difficulties by examining what is arguably the most prominent class of contemporary attempts to formulate non-naturalism’s metaphysical commitments. This class of proposals, exemplified in work by Gideon Rosen and Stephanie Leary, characterizes the distinctive metaphysical commitments of non-naturalism in terms of metaphysical grounding and essence. We argue that these proposals overgeneralize: they either misclassify intuitively naturalistic hypotheses about the metaphysics of normativity as “non-naturalist”, or misclassify hypotheses in other areas of metaphysics. We argue that this problem stems from features of grounding itself. We suggest a more promising alternative for formulating non-naturalism, which revolves around the notion of objective similarity between classes of properties. We conclude by drawing some general lessons for inquiry about the metaphysics of normativity, and about metaphysics in general.

“…For instance, Tännsjö (2010: 52-58) seems open to the idea that moral facts-even general ones-can cause moral beliefs. In addition, Stringer (2018) argues that moral properties have causal powers and Oddie (2005: 181-210) that values do. Depending on what one takes moral principles to be more precisely, these views may imply that moral principles are causally efficacious.…”

Moral Principles: A Challenge for Deniers of Moral Luck

On a common characterization, moral luck occurs when factors beyond agents’ control affect their moral responsibility. The existence of moral luck is widely contested, however. In this paper, I present a new challenge for deniers of moral luck. It seems that some factors beyond agents’ control—such as moral principles about blame- and praiseworthiness—clearly affect moral responsibility. Thus, moral luck deniers face a dialectical burden that has so far gone unnoticed. They must either point to a relevant difference between factors like moral principles and the kind of factors that according to them do not affect moral responsibility or show how they can avoid having to point to such a difference. I argue that no obvious way to meet the challenge presents itself and that it thus amounts to a serious worry for deniers of moral luck.

“…In this paper, we take a more practical approach by considering fundamental ethical principles (e.g., fairness and cheating) that inform the design, regulation and the use of AIED in assessments. These are ethics principles which provide concrete property instantiations of applied ethics, as opposed to abstract moral universals (Stringer, 2018). The paper makes explicit these principles by describing applied instances of these principles found in existing peer-reviewed literature.…”

Artificial Intelligence in Today’s Education Landscape: Understanding and Managing Ethical Issues for Educational Assessment

In a societal institution as fundamental as education, when teaching practitioners or researchers apply artificial intelligence in academic processes such as assessments, it is important to study the divide between what may be ethically permissible and not permissible. This study applied a systematic literature mapping methodology to scour extant research, so as to holistically structure the landscape into explicit topical research clusters. Through topic modelling and network analyses, research mapped ten key ethical principles to five research archetypical domains, and reviewed the contribution and intensity of these ethical principles in each thematic domain. The study extended this review, by mapping out ethics programs and activities that can be applied in practice, alongside their relevant underpinning theories. This study provides a comprehensive treatment of this subject matter to date. We hope the findings of this research can provide researchers and practitioners the insights into the application methods of AI in assessments, and in particular, in terms of their intertwined ethical challenges and how these challenges may be addressed, for follow up studies.
