Abstract:
AbstractThere can be no relevant cardinal assessment of the welfares of individuals that would allow traditional comparisons of average and total welfare of whole societies to be made. Given that cardinally additive welfare measures are unavailable, I work out some of the implications of an ordinal utilitarian analysis of international distributional issues. I first address the general problem of utilitarian comparisons between aggregates, then the nature of ordinal transfers between groups or nations, and then the complications that population growth in impoverished nations entails for such c

Abstract:
Scalar utilitarianism, a form of utilitarianism advocated by Alastair Norcross, retains utilitarianism's evaluative commitments while dispensing with utilitarianism's deontic commitments, or its commitment to the existence or significance of moral duties, obligations and requirements. This article disputes the effectiveness of the arguments that have been used to defend scalar utilitarianism. It is contended that Norcross's central ‘Persuasion Argument’ does not succeed, and it is suggested, more positively, that utilitarians cannot easily distance themselves from deontic assessment, just as l

This paper investigates how engineering discourse evaluates technical developments based on their utility, uselessness, or harm. It examines German-language specialized texts that report on contemporary scientific innovations, using a functional-pragmatic analysis method to explore the propositional structure of statements that convey utilitarian information. The article, published in a scientific journal, is considered in this study as a situationally conditioned speech act that aims to inform readers through the communicative strategy of explanation.

The desire to assess the value of natural resources led to the emergence of the evaluation theory in environmental economics. However, the lack of a systematic approach to the natural resources evaluation, as well as undefined assessment boundaries hinder the development of the such a theory, including the concepts of ecosystem services and total economic value. Based on the review of relevant scientific publications, the paper aims to analyse the evolution of the evaluation theory in environmental economics, as well as to reveal its general trends and phenomena.

John Stuart Mill argued, in his Principles of Political Economy (1848, 7th edn., 1871), that existing laws and customs of private property ought to be reformed to promote a far more egalitarian form of capitalism than hitherto observed anywhere. He went on to suggest that such an ideal capitalism might evolve spontaneously into a decentralized socialism involving a market system of competing worker co-operatives. That possibility of market socialism emerged only as the working classes gradually developed the intellectual and moral qualities required for worker co-operatives to succeed against

Abstract:
The resilience of utilitarian ethics in the face of unremitting criticism can be explained in part by its use of various strategies of indirect utilitarianism. The success of these strategies throws up a distinctive problem: how can one measure the utility of moral rules, large-scale social institutions or character traits distinctive of virtues? Reading Hume as a utilitarian of sorts in his treatment of justice (and rejecting contractarian readings), I explain his conservative endorsement of entrenched social practices as a consequence of his broadly functionalist approach.

Abstract:
This article discusses different approaches to the evaluation of science and higher education. The author distinguishes three types of research assessment: one where substantial evaluation is an integral part of the research itself, a moral one, which implies ethical assessment of the research procedures and its implications, and a utilitarian assessment, which refers to the weighting of the research costs and benefits for society. It is this third type of evaluation that the article discusses in details. The author demonstrates that instead of evaluating costs and benefits per se, utilitarian

Sweatshop labor has been condemned by scholars, activists, students and consumers in more developed countries on charges of wrongful exploitation, and a failure to respect the dignity, and basic needs of sweatshop workers. This paper surveys charges against sweatshop labor, and some of the more influential arguments for, and against, rectifying the background structural injustices that perpetuate it. I argue that in certain sweatshop cases, compensating workers below a prima facie morally acceptable level can be most successful in striving towards the duty of beneficence that employers owe to

Abstract:
A surprising connection was recently discovered between the proper Victorian philosopher Henry Sidgwick, great Utilitarian theorist, and Walt Whitman. I explore the deep affinity between Utilitarianism, often mischaracterized as cold, obtuse, and economistic, and Whitman’s radical poetic humanism. The Utilitarian vision of the founders also sought a radical equality, aiming to increase the average utility of each individual, regardless of social status. Like Whitman’s poetry, its vision of human desire resisted the hypocritical hierarchies of conventional morality. Jeremy Bentham, Utilitarianism’s founder, criticized conventional morality by arguing that pleasures differed only in quantity rather than quality. He rejected the distinction between “higher” and “lower” pleasures as a screen behind which to condemn the behavior of others while validating one’s own desires. Yet where Utilitarian critique may seem obtuse or fail to provide a positive vision for human endeavor, it benefits from Whitman’s poetic vision of cosmic unity and democratic equality. Whitman’s poetry could recognize qualitative differences in political values without a return to hierarchy. Considering the affinity between these figures and their ideas may lead us to an economics informed by both utilitarian critical reason and a passionate, qualitative assessment of political values.

Full text
Abstract:
The SWF framework is a fully generic methodology for policy assessment. One important application in the economic literature concerns taxation (termed “optimal tax” scholarship); but the framework is applicable to any type of governmental policy choice. This chapter illustrates the implementation of the SWF framework, using the regulation of fatality risks as a case study. Risk regulation is chosen because this is the major application of cost-benefit analysis (CBA) in the U.S. government. The chapter focuses on the utilitarian and continuous-prioritarian SWFs. Utilitarianism gives priority to the young in reducing fatality risks and to those with higher income. Continuous prioritarianism intensifies the preference for the young, but mitigates or reverse the preference for those with higher income. CBA is significantly different from both utilitarianism and continuous prioritarianism. It markedly intensifies the utilitarian preference for reducing the risks of those with higher incomes; and, unlike both SWF-based approaches, is insensitive to the distribution of policy cost.

Abstract:
Abstract In An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation, Bentham claims that only pleasure and pain, happiness and unhappiness, are good or bad in themselves—everything else that is good or bad counts as such in virtue of its effects, its tendency to produce pleasure (avert pain) or to produce pain (avert pleasure). Bentham’s most notable application of this idea was, of course, to the moral assessment of actions. As an act-utilitarian he held that the rightness or wrongness of actions depends on whether they cause happiness or unhappiness; no other considerations are relevant.

Abstract:
According to an article that was published in Healthitanalysis, mentions of artificial intelligence (AI) have become commonplace in the healthcare industry in what seemed like an instant. The clinical advantages affiliation faces the double test of successfully coordinating reasonable expenses while at the same time conveying positive patient assessment. This investigation chapter examines the distinctive role that modernized thinking (PC-based knowledge) plays in identifying these issues within the clinical consideration association. Focusing in on clear executions, the survey takes a gander at how PC based data applications add to practical efficiency and cost decline in clinical idea settings. The effects of computer-based intelligence reconciliation on cycles like asset distribution, planning, and work process enhancement are examined within the context of contextual analyses of computer-based intelligence reconciliation in medical services organizations. The assessment looks at the common sense of man-made insight driven frameworks for working with administrative tasks and diminishing utilitarian purposes through these models. Additionally, the speculative piece dives into administrative thoughts related with doing man-made awareness in clinical benefits affiliations. As essential components of an efficient replicated understanding strategy, moral assessments, workforce planning, and advancement gathering procedures are investigated. The audit sees troubles that clinical benefits supervisors could totally through search in figuring out PC based data levels of progress and proposes authoritative perspectives for vanquishing these obstructions.
