Philosophy Radio! drlabasham777's Podcast
Society & Culture:Philosophy
Here we track the general motives for the development of Utilitarianism by Jeremy Bentham. A remarkable success story of an amazing philosopher. This is not to endorse Utilitarianism, but only to indicate the general concerns that motivated him. Recall the definition of Utilitarianism:
x is moral if and only x produces the best overall consequences. (x is any action, attitude or so on).
Quick discussion question: Consider the US. Please write a brief paragraph explaining whether you believe that today, or do not believe that today, there is anything close to the nightmare all commoners were suffering under the 2 law system, Royalty law verses Commoners law, that existed before Bentham's attempt at reform.

Cheers,
Dr. Lee Basham
