Preference Utilitarianism

👉 https://untanglephilosophy.com In this video, we explore Preference Utilitarianism, a contemporary approach to ethics advocated by prominent philosophers such as R. M. Hare and Peter Singer. Unlike classical utilitarianism, which focuses solely on maximising pleasure and minimising pain, Preference Utilitarianism prioritises the satisfaction of preferences, desires, and interests. Join us as we explore the key principles of Preference Utilitarianism, its departure from the quantitative and qualitative calculations of Bentham and Mill, and its subjective nature in ethical judgments. Discover how this ethical framework emphasises the equal consideration of everyone's interests, leading to thought-provoking discussions on ethical decision-making. Through compelling examples, including Peter Singer's argument from "Animal Liberation," we illustrate how Preference Utilitarianism guides us in making morally sound choices, even in complex real-world scenarios.
