As readers of this blog know, Sabine and I have been championing an old paper by Aaron Sloman called ”Ought and Better” in our work on anankastic conditionals. When at ESPP David Over told me about Aaron’s later career, I was happy I could set people right who suspected that Aaron was some long-forgotten ethicist by telling them about his illustrious career as a CogSci impresario. Now, Aaron has heard about the renewed interest in his work on ought and has uploaded his old papers to the web:

1. Aaron Sloman. “How to derive better from is” American Philosophical Quarterly, Vol 6, Number 1, Jan 1969, pp 43–52.
2. Aaron Sloman. “Ought and Better” Mind, vol LXXIX, No 315, July 1970, pp 385–394.
