2. Elements and Types of Utilitarianism

mardi 11 juillet 2023Durée 30:48

After defining utilitarianism, this chapter offers a detailed analysis of its four key elements (consequentialism, welfarism, impartiality, and aggregationism). It explains the difference between maximizing, satisficing, and scalar utilitarianism, and other important distinctions between utilitarian theories.

8.3 The Separateness of Persons Objection

mardi 11 juillet 2023Durée 16:47

The idea that utilitarianism neglects the 'separateness of persons' has proven to be a widely influential objection. But it is one that is difficult to pin down. This article explores three candidate interpretations of the objection, and how utilitarians can respond to each.

The original text contained 21 footnotes which were omitted from this narration.

8.4 The Demandingness Objection

mardi 11 juillet 2023Durée 11:08

In directing us to choose the impartially best outcome, even at significant cost to ourselves, utilitarianism can seem an incredibly demanding theory. This page explores whether this feature of utilitarianism is objectionable, and if so, how defenders of the view might best respond.

The original text contained 5 footnotes which were omitted from this narration.

8.5 The Alienation Objection

mardi 11 juillet 2023Durée 11:05

Abstract moral theories threaten to alienate us from much that we hold dear. This article explores two possible defenses of utilitarianism against this charge. One recommends adopting motivations other than explicitly utilitarian ones. The second argues that suitably concrete concerns can be subsumed within broader utilitarian motivations.

The original text contained 11 footnotes which were omitted from this narration.

8.6 The Special Obligations Objection

mardi 11 juillet 2023Durée 11:53

Relationships like parenthood or guardianship seemingly give rise to special obligations to protect those who fall under our care (where these obligations are more stringent than our general duties of beneficence towards strangers). This article explores the extent to which impartial utilitarianism can accommodate intuitions and normative practices of partiality.

The original text contained 10 footnotes which were omitted from this narration.

8.7 The Cluelessness Objection

mardi 11 juillet 2023Durée 13:52

Is utilitarianism undermined by our inability to predict the long-term consequences of our actions? This article explores whether utilitarians can still be guided by near-term expected value even when this is small in comparison to the potential value or disvalue of the unknown long-term consequences.

The original text contained 18 footnotes which were omitted from this narration.

8.8 The Equality Objection

mardi 11 juillet 2023Durée 08:03

Utilitarianism is concerned with the overall well-being of individuals in the population, but many object that justice requires an additional concern for how this well-being is distributed across individuals. This article examines this objection, and how utilitarians might best respond.

The original text contained 6 footnotes which were omitted from this narration.

8.9 The Abusability Objection

mardi 11 juillet 2023Durée 11:00

Some argue that utilitarianism is self-effacing, or recommends against its own acceptance, due to the risk that mistaken appeals to the 'greater good' may actually result in horrifically harmful actions being done. This article explores how best to guard against such risks, and questions whether it is an objection to a theory if it turns out to be self-effacing in this way.

The original text contained 15 footnotes which were omitted from this narration.

Acting on Utilitarianism

mardi 11 juillet 2023Durée 23:10

“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove. Every day will allow you, will invite you to add something to the pleasure of others, or to diminish something of their pains.” —Jeremy Bentham So far we have looked at utilitarianism from a theoretical viewpoint. But what does utilitarianism actually mean in practice? What concrete actions does it say we should take? This article explains what it means to live an ethical life from the perspective of utilitarianism.

The original text contained 40 footnotes which were omitted from this narration.
