Ethics/Social and Political Philosophy: Williams on the "too simple" problem with Utilitarianism
Philoso-folks,
Here comes Bernard Williams’ “lack of complexity” worry about Utilitarianism (consequentialism). The idea is that Utilitarianism does not have the conceptual methods to tell us the difference between Right and Wrong/Justice and Injustice. In a phrase, ”It’s too simple to work.”. Williams has other doubts about Utilitarianism, but this is one of them. (Yes, they had video in 30 and more ago! Wow!) ;).
Cheers~
