John Rawls' "A Theory of Justice"
[ send me this paper ]
An 11 page paper discussing Rawls' system of justice, which must be based on the least advantaged individual in the society. That one claiming unfairness in justice obviously becomes the least advantaged. That individual then provides the basis for the system of justice no longer being fair, and policy makers are obliged to withdraw once more behind the "veil of ignorance" in order to accommodate the individual and his changing society. The paper also provides background on the philosophy of Kant and Mill, who provides the framework of utilitarianism that Rawls reshapes into his theory of justice. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

John Stuart Mills: Utilitarianism.
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) Utilitarianism is an ethical theory developed in the modern period by Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832) and John Stuart Mill (1806-73) to promote fairness in British legislation during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries when the interests of the upper classes tended to prevail and the sufferings of the lower classes were neglected. Utilitarianism is an ethical theory that calls for putting benevolence into action. Mill interprets the term utilitarianism as signifying any moral theory (the terms ethical and moral are used synonymously by Bentham and Mill, ) in which acts are judged on the basis of their utility. Mill further specifies that there is no one conception of what constitutes utility and there is no implication of a sect. The author expresses dissention with "The Ultimate Sanction of the Principle of Utility." Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels" Book IV: Reason And Value
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Eighteenth century philosophy especially tended to pride itself on having developed to the highest degree the renaissance faith in reason as the distinctive quality of man. Author Jonathan Swift's attitude to his era's view of reason as the sole criterion of value is what ultimately transpired in Book IV of "Gulliver's Travels." That Gulliver had had an interesting � albeit at times strange � journey thus far in the tale did not prepare him for the discovery of his true self, an image he had not only loathed in himself but had previously condemned in others.
