It's Not Just Consequences: Jeremy Bentham's Philosophy of Action VIDEO
This video is from an invited lecture given at Marist College as part of their Philosophy and Religious Studies departmental lecture series. In it, I introduce the audience to Jeremy Bentham's Utilitarian philosophy, his place in the history of ideas, and some of his key texts for the philosophy of action. I discuss his "logic of the will", his view on the will, the understanding, and desires, and set out his philosophy of action -- focused not only on consequences, but on intentions, dispositions, and most especially, on motives.
