Understanding J.S. Mill's Utilitarianism, EP 12, Feelings of Justice and the Idea of a Right

  • Summary

  • In this episode I explain Mill's account of "feelings" of justice and injustice, and how Mill ties this concept to the idea of a violation of a moral or legal rule and the idea of punishment. I will also discuss Mill's concept of "a right" and what it means to say that one does or does not have a right to something (e.g. life, liberty, or a cup of coffee).
