Résumé:In this paper, we critically examine Molly Gardner's favored solution to what she calls “the problem of justified harm.” We argue that Gardner's view is false and that her arguments in support of it are unconvincing. Finally, we briefly suggest an alternative solution to the problem which avoids the difficulties that beset Gardner's proposal.
