By John Quiggin
Category: Mind & Ideas › Philosophy
I go back to Henry Sidgwick and the roots of utilitarianism to ask where it all went off track. This is part intellectual history, part moral philosophy looking at how attempts to formalise ethics produced puzzles we’re still stuck with today.
Rolly's Take

This blog invites you to unravel the threads of utilitarianism, tracing its lineage and missteps, while challenging the comforts of contemporary moral reasoning. Here lies a space where philosophical musings meet real-world implications, beckoning those who crave clarity amidst the chaos of moral complexity.
