In viewing the presidential hopefuls, however, and studying their party platforms, we can see how some of their policies and views reflect statements and ideals set by such philosophers as Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Describes how the beliefs and visions by each of the presidential candidates presented are inherently linked in some way to some or all of these philosophers.

Professor Bernard Williams On Utilitarianism
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Bernard Williams, the Knightsbridge Professor of Philosophy at Cambridge University, believes that utilitarianism, while professing to protect the majority's quest for happiness, does nothing to promote individual rights. When assessing the Williams' concerns, it is important for the student to consider the fact that utilitarianism represents the belief that what serves the greatest number serves the greater good, rather than what is favorable for a few. Ethically speaking, Williams contends that a single entity cannot begin to know what is for the good of the majority when it comes to the pursuit of happiness, inasmuch as people perceive this aspect in significantly different ways.
