Human Rights: Utilitarianism vs Egoism
Original language description
Utilitarian ethics and rational egoism are competing consequentialist theories. Utilitarianism is an attractive theory because it minimizes the value-normative component and maximizes the empirical component of moral thinking. But egoism accomplishes this methodological advantage even better. Interestingly, egoism can turn traditional utilitarian argumentative techniques against utilitarianism. If someone prefers utilitarian ethics to rational egoism, they should explain why they do so. How is utilitarianism better than egoism? Don‘t be afraid of egoism. If we can justify human rights in terms of rational egoism, this means that human rights are burdened with minimal value-normative assumptions. If this is the case, this is good news
