Readings For Week Nine
On Tuesday March 8, we will still be dicussing:
-
Pojman, "Utilitarianism" in the Thompson Custom Text
For Thursday March 10, you must read:
-
O'Neil, "Kant and Utilitarianism Contrasted" in the Custom Courseware.
Recommended:
-
"The Categorical Imperative: 'Respect for Persons' Formulation" in the
Thompson Custom Text. This reading provides a very brief statement
of that aspect of Kant's theory that we will discuss in lecture.
While this cannot substitute for reading the O'Neil essay, it may
help some of you to understand the basic contrast between Kantian deontology
and Utilitarianism.
