Book Description
The main portion of my argument consists in the development and defense of my Respect View of special responsibilities. Two claims form its core. First, we have a duty to respect the value of the relationships we share with our friends and family members. Second, satisfying our special responsibilities for them is required to fulfill this duty. I argue that the Respect View both sticks closer to our intuitions than traditional, impartialist views and, unlike other relationship-based views, provides a compelling explanation of them. In the final chapter of the dissertation, I justify our commonsense belief that many of our relationships with our friends and family members are valuable by identifying three sources of value: mutually valuing a relationship, a relationship's history, and social conventions. When combined with the Respect View, this chapter's argument establishes the conclusion that many of us have relationship-based responsibilities for our friends and family members.
