The Point of View of the Universe: Sidgwick and Contemporary Ethics
Lazari-Radek, Katarzyna de (University of Lodz)
What does the idea of taking 'the point of view of the universe' tell us about ethics? Lazari-Radek and Singer defend objectivism in ethics, and hedonistic utilitarianism, following Henry Sidgwick's lead. They explore how to justify an ethical theory; conflicts of self-interest and universal benevolence; and whether we should discount the future.
