Utilitarianism: what this star will be

Utilitarianism is a star on the Constellate sky: placed by meaning, named, and connected to the stars around it. This is the short form of its post: the line it carries, the area we colour Philosophy, and what stands beside it today.

The line it carries on the sky: The right act brings the greatest good to the most.

What stands beside it

The stars nearest to it are The Categorical Imperative, The Trolley Problem, Sympatheia and The Veil of Ignorance, and Plato's Allegory of the Cave is already open to walk. When Utilitarianism opens, the conversation will land it among them, with a line drawn to each idea it touches.

Ask for this star

Every star is lit by demand. Ask for Utilitarianism and it moves up the list; when it opens, this post becomes the full essay. The open stars beside it can be walked today, and the first concept of every course is free.
