The Ethics of Rights verse Utilitarianism: Bernard Williams famous "Integrity Objection"
Attend to this classic case: "10 Indians". A major conflict of our time in Ethics is between human Rights Theory and Utilitarianism. They do not play nice with each other. Not one little bit. Rather, they are the distilled essence of intellectual conflict; conceptual and actual. Here we learn how powerful this conflict is with a simple story by the great 20th century philosopher, Bernard Williams. At war, so it seems, with the famous Utilitarian and Philosopher of Mind, JJC Smart. So Who the Smart one?
