Rawls versus utilitarianism: the subset objection
E-Logos Electronic Journal for Philosophy 23 (2):37-41 (2016)
Abstract
This paper presents an objection to John Rawls’s use of the original position method to argue against implementing utilitarian rules. The use of this method is pointless because a small subset of the premises Rawls relies on can be used to infer the same conclusion.
