Abstract
Some of the major problems in radiation protection are closely connected to issues thathave a long, independent tradition in moral philosophy. This contribution focuses on two ofthese issues. One is the relationship between the protection of individuals andoptimisation on the collective level, and the other is the relative valuation offuture versus immediate damage. Some of the intellectual tools that have beendeveloped by philosophers can be useful in radiation protection. On the other hand,philosophers have much to learn from radiation protectors, not least when itcomes to finding pragmatic solutions to problems that may be intractable inprinciple.
