Philosophy- Ethical Reasoning
Read chapters 14 and 15. Singer’s article (chapter 22, which you have already read) is a plain, utilitarian argument for helping starving people. Read Mill’s description of basic utilitarianism, and read Pojman’s explanation of utilitarianism. In half a page or so, describe how Mill’s understanding supports Singer’s ideas. Then pick one of Pojman’s objections to Utilitarianism and apply it to Singer, specifically (again, about 1/2 page). (The two readings on Mill and Pojman are readings 14 and 15). Be sure to show that you have read and tried to understand the readings in your answer.
