The Philosophical Biography of the Utilitarian Tradition: Is Sidgwick a Point of Culmination?

The project examines how and why the character of the utilitarian project has changed from Bentham and the Philosophic Radicals to John Stuart Mill and Sidgwick.

In collaboration with Tyler Paytas (Australian Catholic University, ACU), this DAAD-funded project aims to initiate the first extensive philosophical treatment of the history of ethical impartialism.
