utilitarianism

In the 1970s, the Australian moral philosopher Peter Singer began to argue that it is ethical to give parents the option to euthanise infants with disabilities.

Many great minds have plenty of bad things to say about democracy, but what about the people who think it is great?

The philosopher believed we craved for something less pleasant.

Everybody wants to be happy, right? Who wouldn’t try to get as many pleasurable experiences as they could? Well, if this philosopher is right. You wouldn’t.
