Amartya Sen on Utilitarianism - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 885 Utilitarianism/SenVsUtilitarianism/Sen: Against utilitarian theories of freedom, which determine the value of freedom entirely over its benefit, he points out: "Although freedom is not enough for itself, it pleases by itself. Freedom is on the one hand related to goals and the benefits to be achieved through their realization - but on the other hand it is not part of it. Respect for freedom as an end in itself must be distinguished from its value as a means to certain goods which can only be attained through it. The intrinsic and the instrumental appreciation of freedom are two different things. >Freedom/Sen. Claus Dierksmeier, „Amartya Sen, Ökonomie für den Menschen (1999)“ in: Manfred Brocker (Hg.)
