If utilitarianism seems in principle to dictate that we make each and every...

Utilitarianism
ISBN: 9781604597370 / Angielski / Miękka / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. John Stuart Mill's book Utilitarianism is a philosophical defense of utilitarianism in ethics. The essay first appeared as a series of three articles published in Fraser's Magazine in 1861. Utilitarianism is the idea that the moral worth of an action is determined solely by its contribution to overall utility: that is, its contribution to happiness or pleasure as summed among all people. It is thus a form of consequentialism, meaning that the moral worth of an action is determined by its outcome.

Utilitarianism
ISBN: 9781452808239 / Angielski / Miękka / 110 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. How should social and political policy be structured? In a society that places happiness as the highest good, policy should achieve "the greatest good for the greatest number of people." Those words form the basis for the idea behind utilitarianism, or utility, which places the achievement of happiness and the attainment of pleasure above all other goods. To maximize the utility of happiness, decisions and policy need to revolve around the outcomes they produce. The greater number of people who benefit from an action, the greater its utility. This landmark book on utilitarianism reveals the...

ISBN: 9781623561482 / Angielski / Miękka / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych.

Interestingly, both institutional and anti-institutional sides of this antagonism tend to accuse each other of "nihilism," namely, of mere oppositional destructiveness and failure to offer a constructive, positive alternative to the status quo. Nihilism seems, then, all engulfing. In... Contemporary politics is faced, on the one hand, with political stagnation and lack of a progressive vision on the side of formal, institutional po... |
