This paper focuses on an underexplored challenge in infinite ethics. On realistic assumptions, if our universe is infinite, every nomologically possible history is actual and nothing we ever do makes a difference to the moral quality of the world as a whole. Call this thought Every History. This paper unpacks Every History and explores some of its ethical implications. Specifically, I argue that if Every History is true and the universe turns out to be infinite (1) our lives are globally insignificant, (2) moral principles enjoining the promotion of value need to be given an appropriately scope-restricted interpretation, and (3) impersonal consequentialism faces a serious challenge.

 每一段历史


本文重点关注无限伦理学中尚未充分探索的挑战。根据现实的假设，如果我们的宇宙是无限的，那么每一个法理上可能的历史都是真实的，我们所做的任何事情都不会改变整个世界的道德质量。把这个想法称为“每一个历史”。本文解开了每一段历史并探讨了它的一些伦理含义。具体来说，我认为，如果每段历史都是真实的，并且宇宙是无限的（1）我们的生命在全球范围内都是微不足道的，（2）禁止促进价值的道德原则需要给予适当的范围限制解释，并且（ 3）非个人结果主义面临严峻挑战。
