What, according to Bentham’s utilitarianism, does morality require of us? Mill tries to soften the ‘hard edges’ of Bentham’s utilitarianism with regard to things like liberty and rights. How? Can Mill provide a successful defense of human rights on utilitarian grounds? Why or why not? Do you find either Bentham’s or Mill’s version of utilitarianism plausible as a moral theory? Why or why not? Can you think of any additions or corrections that might make utilitarianism more plausible? How well do these corrections work?
