Robert Audi, Ethical Significance Of Cost-Benefit Analysis - Problems With Utilitarianism
This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century American philosopher Robert Audi's article, "The Ethical Significance of Cost Benefit Analysis". It focuses specifically on several problems with adopting a utilitarian point of view in ethics, using cost-benefit analysis. Several of these problems, Audi argues, would be an issue for other ethical theories or approaches.
