Utilitarianism Response To Justice And Rights Objections

Utilitarianism response to justice and rights objections

John Rawls raises respect for oneself and establishes that it is necessary They are subject to an agreement between rational, equal and free people in fair contractual situations in which it consists of universal validity. Its theoretical proposal is the reaction against utilitarianism, which means that the main idea is that in the most important institutions of a society they are prepared in such a way that they obtain a greater net equilibrium of satisfaction distributed among all individuals parties of is incorporating a Fair order, justice as impartiality supports the idea that from totally impartial conditions will clearly obtain impartial results.

Rawls utilitarianism is called ´´Estepaction of desires´´ which measures the independent procedures of elections that imply risks, for him the well -being of society is fundamental, based on the fact that from the satisfaction of the desire systems of the many of the many individuals reaches a common well -being and the theory of justice as impartiality states that a correct act must be considered when general happiness is increased. The deontological character of this utilitarian theory is that it deals with human beings that are independent and individual as in other magnitudes in which happiness is distributed as autonomous moral following the freely chosen reasoning and dignity. The criticism that he does is that the utility principle ends up identify To perform your own good, always choose to balance the losses and profits obtaining a logical effect that of demanding a sacrifice to obtain profits in the future, in the same way it would be rational for a society to increase its common good.

The utilitarian principle of individual choice becomes indifferent to the mode of distribution of the sum of satisfactions between individuals, which would end by justifying slavery in institutions, if the sacrifices of a few were widely compensated by the satisfaction of others by What will see a violation of rights.

The relationship between justice and utility is very close since the justice that Rawls applies in his work is that of freedoms of justice as equality among citizens for the fundamental principles of this theory are the liberal and egalitarian requirements of justice, Utility seeks social welfare which depends solely on the levels of dissatisfaction and satisfaction of individuals basically their relationship is that the two seek social well -being but utilitarianism establishes that the well -being of each individual is given by the priorities they have for policies , institutions, actions, etc.

As main utilitarian we have:

1.  Jeremy Bentham: emphasizes what gave greater pleasure to the greatest number of people regardless of their social extraction.
2.  John Stuart Mill: He argues that it must always be acting with the benefit of producing happiness for the greatest number of people within reasonable.

The positive and negative aspects of utilitarianism are the following:

• Offers a clear and simple criterion of how to justify our moral beliefs and decisions.
• Happiness and well -being for the greatest number of individuals.
• Impersonality in the distribution of happiness, that is, some can get much, little or get it at the expense of someone else, violating rights or sacrificing people.
• Its impossibility of explaining the degree of rationality with which those interested in raising their own pleasure, so that they replace, as the object of their actions, their personal happiness for general happiness must be guided by the maximum.

As a personal opinion, Jhon Rawls’s theory has been of great importance since he proposes that the goods and services be distributed fairly and equitable based on the preferences of the people establishing an impartial administration in the institutions, although there are controversies referring to Rawls and that does not accept the transmission that occurs in the market among successful and less successful, practically establishes a somewhat socialist vision however has very good arguments based on respect for each person.
