  2. Kamm cites Thomas Nagel as a leading exponent of this “agent-relative” approach to the explanatory question. See especially The View From Nowhere. New York: Oxford University Press, 1986.

  3. Kamm has a brief discussion of the possibility of such “status v. status” conflicts in ch. 10. Kasper Lippert-Rasmussen presses Kamm on such conflicts in “Moral Status and the Impermissibility of Minimizing Violations,” Philosophy & Public Affairs 25 (1996), 333–351.
