Amazing synthesis of many hard and seemingly discrete ideas in chapter 5 of utilitarianism. I'm writing an essay on the intersection of utility and justice and this was so helpful.
i cannot begin to explain how much this video has helped me thank you so much.i Am a second year philosophy student from South Africa and watching this in 2018. please keep making videos like this you are doing an amazing job God bless you.
Thank you for your video, it helped me alot, I am taking an ethics course that is part of a public management master (in Peru), this course focuses on topics about Imperative (Kant) vs Utilitarianism (Mill). Sorry for my poor english.
how to exactly understand human rights according to utilitarianism, because when I read, I understood that a person has his moral rights, which society must respect, but how does it appear, for example, in The trolly problem? at first it seems that you should pull the train lever and by sacrificing 1 life you will save more, but doesn't that person have the right to life according to the same utilitarianism and is this justifiable?
i just mean that ,we use this concept to define the action that only considering the utility at present，without thinking about the common good of the whole society. IM sorry for my limited English
Well, as you're describing it, that's NOT "utilitarianism". They're misusing the term by applying it to considering only the present utility, and not the common good
