This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.
This Core Concept video provides a set of examples meant to help viewers understand Jeremy Bentham's Utilitarian moral theory, in this case focusing on how the moral theory would apply to issues of personal and public health.
