I10-R305-article-290582023-11-07T18:34:25Z Numbers and tragic cases: A tribute to Ernesto Garzón Valdés Números y casos tragicos: Un homenaje a Ernesto Garzón Valdés Lariguet, Guillermo Lariguet, Guillermo The present work expresses a tribute to the Argentinean philosopher Ernesto Garzón Valdés. With relation to this purpose, my research focuses on one of the essays of the Garzón Valdés: if they count the numbers in moral decisions. The steps of my paper will be as follows. In the first place, I will argue that Garzón Valdés underestimates the tragic character of the shooting down of airplanes (central theme of his article). Secondly, I will point out that, in the face of cases such as the shooting down of airplanes, a deontologism, like the one professed by Garzón Valdés, of the style "you can never sacrifice a few to save many" can be unreasonable. There are other forms of deontologism that do not have to be incompatible with a certain dose of consequentialism. I will add to this that, in cases such as the attack to airplanes, it is not so obvious that the "numerical calculation" is out of place or completely unjustified from a moral point of view. Este trabajo expresa un homenaje al filósofo argentino Ernesto Garzón Valdés. Para esto, la pesquisa se centra en uno de los ensayos del filósofo: “si cuentan los números en las decisiones morales”. Los pasos de mi trabajo serán los siguientes. En primer lugar, argumentaré que el filósofo subestima el carácter trágico del derribo de aviones (tema central de su artículo). En segundo lugar, señalaré que, frente a casos como el de derribo de aviones, un deontologismo, como el profesado por Garzón Valdés, del estilo “nunca pueden sacrificarse unos pocos para salvar muchos” puede ser irrazonable. Hay otras formas de deontologismo que no tienen por qué estar reñidas con cierta dosis de consecuencialismo. Añadiré a esto que, en casos como el del derribo de aviones, no es tan obvio que el “cálculo numérico” esté fuera de lugar o se halle completamente injustificado.
