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.
