J.L. Mackie on Utility - Dictionary of Arguments
Stegmüller IV 211 Principle of utility /Mill: transition from individualistic to universalistic hedonism. If happiness is a good for every individual, then the general happiness is a good for the whole of all people. MackieVsMill: the alleged evidence smuggles illegal assumptions. Mankind is wrongly treated as a psychic subject. Mankind as a whole is never faced with a choice. IV 212 False conclusion: from "everyone" to "all". Furthermore, in the transition from the individual to society, a "value objectivism" is smuggled in here instead of subjectivism. >Every/all, >Objectivism, >Cognitivism, >Emotivism._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
