Reply to Klocksiem on the Counterfactual Comparative Account of Harm

AbstractIn a recent article in this journal, I claimed that the widely held counterfactual comparative account of harm (CCA) violates two very plausible principles about harm and prudential reasons. Justin Klocksiem argues, in a reply, that CCA is in fact compatible with these principles. In this rejoinder, I shall try to show that Klocksiem ’s defense of CCA fails.
