in: Analysis (2020) Volume 80:3. AbstractA notorious problem that has recently received increased attention in axiology, normative theory and population ethics is the apparent ubiquity of what can be g. This paper illustrates how nondeterminacy can spawn cyclical rankings. So, accepting that practical reasons can admit of nondeterminacy challenges the widely held idea that ‘better than’ is transitive. As a result, standard approaches to rational choice under nondeterminacy fail to be action-guiding, since in some situations all options are dominated, that is, impermissible according to standard rational choice criteria.
