Neutrality and pleasure
Economics and Philosophy, vol. 23, no. 1, 2007, pp. 81–88
Abstract
John Broome’s ground-breaking Weighing Lives makes precise, and supplies arguments previously lacking for, several views which for centuries have been central to the utilitarian tradition. In gratitude for his enlightening arguments, I shall repay him in this paper by showing how he could make things easier for himself by denying neutrality and accepting hedonism.
