Utilitarianism and the Distinction Between Persons
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses the ideas of 19th century philosopher, John Stuart Mill, who was certain that the highest normative principle is that, “actions are right in proportion as they tend to promote happiness; wrong as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness.” This is his fundamental principle of utility.

Utilitarianism and the U.S. Decision to go to War in Iraq (2003) with References to John Stuart Mill, Immanuel Kant and Thomas Nagel
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 9 page paper discussing the application of utilitarianism to the U.S. decision to go to war with Iraq without U.N. approval. John Stuart Mill’s “Greatest Happiness Principle” and utility is used in terms of moral decisions and can be applied in regards to act-utilitarianism and rule-utilitarianism. Basically, morals and decision making are based on the ideas of rule-utilitarianism in which the consequences of certain actions are considered in terms of the whole, or everyone. Act-utilitarianism however, which can for Mill void rules in certain circumstances, evaluates an action based on the circumstances solely related to the action. The decision making process is only considered a moral one if it is based on good will, according to Immanuel Kant. Thomas Nagel, on the other hand, argues that the U.S. often acts within its own circumstances (act-utilitarianism) and in cases of war, once enacted, the decision to start war, or whether the decision was moral or not, is forgotten and replaced with future speculations of peace, freedom and economic prosperity. Similarly, the application of act-utilitarianism and rule-utilitarianism can be applied to the recent U.S. decision to declare war on Iraq without the approval of the U.N. Security Council. Theoretically, the U.N. is following the moral guidelines of rule-utilitarianism where as the U.S. is following those under act-utilitarianism. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
