Abstract
This chapter asks whether we can compare the values of different selves of the same individual in such a way that we can measure those values on the same scale using utilities. It surveys a number of different proposals adapted from the literature on interpersonal utility comparisons, and concludes that none of the existing proposals will work. It presents an alternative and argues that it does work. This answers an objection raised by R. A. Briggs (2015),. ‘Transformative Experience and Interpersonal Utility Comparisons’ in Res Philosophica, 92(2).
