  • What Should We Agree on about the Repugnant Conclusion

    Open AccessStéphane Zuber, Nikhil Venkatesh et al.ARTICLEUtilitas2021Citada por: 5Referências: 4

    The Repugnant Conclusion is an implication of some approaches to population ethics. It states, in Derek Parfit's original formulation, For any possible population of at least ten billion people, all with a very high quality of life, there must be some much larger imaginable population whose existence, if other things are equal, would be better, even though its members have lives that are barely worth living. (Parfit 1984: 388)

Our empirical results show that the global leadership and organizational behavior effectiveness nine culture indices are all significantly related with happiness. Out of these nine indices, power…

  • Welfarism and Utilitarianism

    Open AccessYew-Kwang Ng, Yew‐kwang NgARTICLEUtilitas1990Citada por: 2Referências: 6

    Utilitarianism seems to be going out of fashion, amidst increasing concerns for issues of freedom, equality, and justice. At least, anti-utilitarian and non-utilitarian moral philosophers have been very active. This paper is a very modest attempt to defend utilitarianism in particular and welfarism (i.e., general utilitarianism or utilitarianism without the sum-ranking aspect) in general. Section I provides an axiomatic defence of welfarism and u…

  • What Should We Do About Future Generations?

    Open AccessYew-Kwang Ng, Yew‐kwang NgARTICLEEconomics and Philosophy1989

    Parfit's requirements for an ideal Theory X cannot be fully met since the Mere Addition Principle and Non-Antiegalitarianism imply the Repugnant Conclusion: Theory X does not exist. However, since the Repugnant Conclusion is really compelling, the Impersonal Total Principle should be adopted for impartial comparisons concerning future generations. Nevertheless, where our own interests are affected, we may yet choose to be partial, trading off our…

  • On the Welfare Economics of Population Control

    Yew-Kwang Ng, Yew‐kwang NgARTICLEPopulation and Development Review1986Citada por: 2

    This paper discusses the justification for policies that limit population growth such as Chinas one-child policy. Although free choice of family size involves a decline in per capita income families if educated about birth control and not government should decide on family size. Theories of optimal population are discussed with reference to population control concluding that maximizing average utility is not an acceptable criterion for optimal po…
