1. How and why does Mill critique Bentham’s version of
Utilitarianism for its lack of protection against the “tyranny of
the majority” and how does his principle of liberty remedy
this oversight?
2. Singer claims in the “solution to world poverty” that one should donate most of one’s
disposable income to organizations like OXFAM or UNICEF,
and that failing to do that is analogous to refraining from
saving a drowning child to protect one’s new shoes. How
would Aristotle, Kant, and Mill respond to this claim? Be sure
to give reasons compatible with each philosopher’s ethical
system in your answer.
