Hello sir, thanks very much for all those great lectures. You've raised the examples of racial and male superiority in the US. I just wanted to mention, that the new Israeli government (where I'm from) is going to annex the Jordan Valley in the occupied West Bank. The Palestinian people live under an opressive military rule and Jewish Superiority is a no - brainer. The world doesn't intervene, unfortunately. Just wanted to raise awareness, and I thought you could give this as an example on injustice. Thank you very much. #FreePalestine #JusticeForPalestinians
Can we categorize all of these 5 into the first one? (Respecting legal rights) Legalizing promises can be easy however legalizing some others like morals is difficult. But if we can do it, then is it better to say following laws is the only concept of justice?
So telling a lie for "the greater good" is not justifiable as there was a lie told ? Where would economic prediction based on past evidence fall under?
"So telling a lie for "the greater good" is not justifiable as there was a lie told?" It depends, from a Utilitarian perspective. Generally it's not. "Where would economic prediction based on past evidence fall under?" That's simply probabilistic statements, right? So, a non-issue, when it comes to lies

No
@@GregoryBSadler why?
@@mahdyfo Because they don't. How about you read the Mill text?
How would mill view slavery? Would he defend it because it was legal at the time and that he’d respect the legal rights of people?
I suppose you could read Mill's works
@@GregoryBSadler good point

Why, according to Mill, would any case of injustice provided violate the Principle of Utility?
All sorts of reasons. The question sounds like fishing for homework answers
