DescriptionAt the end of a long philosophical career Henry Sidgwick (1834-1900) found that there was no reason for human beings to be moral. He hesitated over whether to make his findings public. When two prominent twentieth-century British philosophers reviewed Sidgwick’s dilemma in the 1960s one scoffed and the other mourned.
This is not a paper about mourning the consequences of human mortality so much as narrating one man’s moment of loss (Alasdair MacIntyre), a funeral, as it were, at which the other man (Bernard Williams) cheered.
I’ll try to draw from this minimalist British version of ‘The Death of God’ some interesting tensions in how we label our moral visions.
Peter Singer discusses the new book 'The Point Of View Of The Universe - Sidgwick & Contemporary Ethics' (By Katarzyna de Lazari-Radek and Peter Singer)
He also discusses his reasons for changing his mind about preference utilitarianism.

Bart Schultz's (University of Chicago) Review of the book: http://ndpr.nd.edu/news/49215-he-point-of-view-of-the-universe-sidgwick-and-contemporary-ethics/
"Restoring Sidgwick to his rightful place of philosophical honor and cogently defending his central positions are obviously no small tasks, but the authors are remarkably successful in pulling them off, in a defense that, in the case of Singer at least, means candidly acknowledging that previous defenses of Hare's universal prescriptivism and of a desire or preference satisfaction theory of the good were not in the end advances on the hedonistic utilitarianism set out by Sidgwick. But if struggles with Singer's earlier selves run throughout the book, they are intertwined with struggles to come to terms with the work of Derek Parfit, both Reasons and Persons (Oxford, 1984) and On What Matters (Oxford, 2011), works that have virtually defined the field of analytical rehabilitations of Sidgwick's arguments. The real task of The Point of View of the Universe -- the title being an expression that Sidgwick used to refer to the impartial moral point of view -- is to defend the effort to be even more Sidgwickian than Parfit, and, intriguingly enough, even more Sidgwickian than Sidgwick himself."

"I believe that there is, from the ethical point of view, no symmetry between suffering and happiness, or between pain and pleasure. Both the greatest happiness principle of the Utilitarians and Kant's principle, "Promote other people's happiness...", seem to me (at least in their formulations) fundamentally wrong in this point, which is, however, not one for rational argument....In my opinion...human suffering makes a direct moral appeal for help, while there is no similar call to increase the happiness of a man who is doing well anyway."
Karl Popper
(The Open Society and Its Enemies, 1952)
The term "negative utilitariaism" (NU) was coined by Sir Karl Popper (Popper, Karl: 1952. The Open Society and its Enemies. Princeton N.J.: Princeton University Press. vol.I ch.5, note 6). The concept of negative utilitarianism was foreshadowed earlier e.g. in the work of Edmund Gurney (1847-88). It has obvious affinities with Buddhism. At first blush, NU appears to entail mass euthanasia, although this implication has been disputed.
Karl Popper was both a philosopher of science and a political philosopher. He is perhaps most famous for his falsification principle (The Logic of Scientific Discovery, 1934), a proposed methodological rule to demarcate science from non-science.
Popper's "negative utilitarian" principle is that we should act to minimise suffering rather than maximise pleasure. Classical utilitarian philosophers such as Henry Sidgwick had explicitly argued for the moral symmetry of happiness and suffering. Complications aside, they supposed that increases in happiness, and reductions in suffering, are essentially of equal value when of equal magnitude. Popper disagreed. He believed that the practical consequences of the supposed moral symmetry were dangerous too. "Philosophers should consider the fact that the greatest happiness principle can easily be made an excuse for a benevolent dictatorship. We should replace it by a more modest and more realistic principle: the principle that the fight against avoidable misery should be a recognized aim of public policy, while the increase of happiness should be left, in the main, to private initiative."
Popper believed that by acting to minimise suffering, we avoid the terrible risks of "utopianism", by which he had in mind the communist and fascist dictatorships of the twentieth century. "Those who promise us paradise on earth never produced anything but a hell." A staunch advocate of the "open society", Popper defended "piecemeal social engineering" rather than grandiose state planning.
Ironically, the full realisation of a negative utilitarian ethic depends inescapably on the "utopian" planning that Popper abhorred. Only a global bioengineering project of unparalleled ambition could bring about the eradication of suffering throughout the living world - not piecemeal social engineering. In seeking to liberate the world from the tyranny of pain, negative utilitarianism is no less "totalitarian" in its policy implications than communism or fascism, albeit vastly more compassionate.
It is an irony that Sir Karl would not have appreciated.

http://egs.edu/ Peter Singer and Katarzyna de Lazari-Radek conducting a workshop about utilitarian ethics and Henry Sidgwick, discussing several ethical thought experiments with students, expounding their contemporary formulations of utilitarianism. Other subjects discussed include reason, rationality, passion, justification of action, aims, smoking, agony, and desire. Public open lecture for the students and faculty of the European Graduate School EGS Media and Communication Studies department program Saas-Fee Switzerland Europe 2012 Peter Singer and Katarzyna de Lazari-Radek.
Peter Albert David Singer, B.Phil. (graduate degree in Philosophy at the University of Oxford, England), is a renown Australian-born Jewish philosopher born on July 6th 1946. For over thirty years he has challenged traditional notions of applied ethics. He is world famous for giving the impetus to the animal rights movement. Today he holds the chair of ethics at Princeton University. Singer has also held twice the chair of philosophy in his native land at Monash University where he also founded the Centre for Human Bioethics. Peter Singer is a rationalist philosopher in the Anglo-American tradition of utilitarianism. He teaches "practical ethics", which he defines as the application of a morality to practical problems based on philosophical thinking rather than on religious beliefs. In 2009 Singer would make it to the Time magazine list of "The 100 Most Influential People in the World".
His 1975 book "Animal Liberation" would greatly influence the modern movements of animal welfare. There he argues against speciesism, which is the discrimination between beings on the sole basis of their species, and in this way it is almost always in practice in favor of members of the human race against non-human animals. In 1977 he would be appointed to the chair of philosophy at Monash University where he was to become the first director of the Centre for Human Bioethics. In 1996 he would run unsuccessfully as a Green candidate for the Australian Senate. In 2004 he would be recognized as the Australian humanist of the year by the Council of Australian Humanist Societies. In 1971 Singer wrote an article entitled "Famine, Affluence, and Morality" which remains today one of his most known philosophical essays. In 2009 he wrote "The Life You Can Save: Acting Now to End World Poverty". There Peter Singer demonstrates that for the first time in its history humanity has the financial and material resources to eradicate poverty worldwide. In 2011 he re-published one of his most important works, "Practical Ethics" (1979), which continues to be influential today.
Katarzyna de Lazari-Radek, Ph.D., is a Polish utilitarian philosopher and lecturer at the Institute of Philosophy at Lodz University in Poland where she also completed her dissertation. Professor Lazari-Radek also teaches an intensive summer seminar on utilitarian ethics at the European Graduate School (EGS) together with the famous applied ethics philosopher, also one of the animal rights founder, Peter Singer. She would do two Master's degrees, also at Lodz University, one in English Literature (2000) and one in Philosophy (2001). Lazari-Radek's doctoral dissertation (2007) examined the work of the utilitarian English philosopher and economist Henry Sidgwick (1838-1900), whose work on work has had a lasting impact, especially in economics. Her dissertation was entitled Good and Reason in the Moral Philosophy of Henry Sidgwick (2007).
Professor Lazari-Radek's research since then has focused on a plethora of ethical issues, including bioethics, medical ethics, the ethics of aid, the ethical aspects of globalization, as well as both the ethics of journalism and the ethics of research. She is the author of articles, including one with Peter Singer published in Ratio the international journal of analytic philosophy, entitled Secrecy in Consequentionalism: A Defence of Esoteric Morality (2010). Other articles of hers include, a popular article entitled "Yeshayahu Leibowitz - prorok wśród swoich" (2004), which in English translates as Yeshayahu Leibowitz - A Prophet among His People about the famous Israeli public intellectual, known for his commentaries on Judaism and ethics. More recently in 2011 she wrote "Dualizm rozumu praktycznego" which translates as Dualism of Practical Reason. Professor Lazari-Radek has a forthcoming book (expected for 2013) written with Peter Singer called Sidgwick and Contemporary Ethics, which will be published Oxford University Press.

Henry Sidgwick
Henry Sidgwick (/ˈsɪdʒwɪk/; 31 May 1838 – 28 August 1900) was an English utilitarian philosopher and economist. He was one of the founders and first president of the Society for Psychical Research and a member of the Metaphysical Society, and promoted the higher education of women. His work in economics has also had a lasting influence. He also founded Newnham College in Cambridge in 1875. Newnham College is a women-only constituent college of the University of Cambridge, England. It was the second Cambridge college to admit women after Girton College. The co-founder of the college was Millicent Garrett Fawcett. He joined the Cambridge Apostles intellectual secret society in 1856.
Biography
He was born at Skipton in Yorkshire, where his father, the Reverend W. Sidgwick (d. 1841), was headmaster of the local grammar school, Ermysted's Grammar School. His mother was Mary Sidgwick, née Crofts, 1807–1879.
Henry himself was educated at Rugby (where his cousin, subsequently his brother-in-law, Edward White Benson – later Archbishop of Canterbury – was a master), and at Trinity College, Cambridge. While at Trinity, Sidgwick became a member of the Cambridge Apostles. In 1859 he was senior classic, 33rd wrangler, chancellor's medallist and Craven scholar. In the same year he was elected to a fellowship at Trinity, and soon afterwards became a lecturer in classics there, a post he held for ten years. The Sidgwick Site, home to several of the university's arts and humanities faculties in the university, is named after him.

Karl Popper
Sir Karl Raimund Popper CH FBA FRS (28 July 1902 – 17 September 1994) was an Austrian-British philosopher and professor. He is generally regarded as one of the greatest philosophers of science of the 20th century.
Popper is known for his rejection of the classical inductivist views on the scientific method, in favour of empirical falsification: A theory in the empirical sciences can never be proven, but it can be falsified, meaning that it can and should be scrutinized by decisive experiments. He used the black swan fallacy to discuss falsification. If the outcome of an experiment contradicts the theory, one should refrain from ad hoc manoeuvres that evade the contradiction merely by making it less falsifiable. Popper is also known for his opposition to the classical justificationist account of knowledge, which he replaced with critical rationalism, "the first non-justificational philosophy of criticism in the history of philosophy."
In political discourse, he is known for his vigorous defence of liberal democracy and the principles of social criticism that he came to believe made a flourishing "open society" possible. His political philosophy embraces ideas from all major democratic political ideologies and attempts to reconcile them: socialism/social democracy, libertarianism/classical liberalism and conservatism.

http://egs.edu/ Peter Singer and Katarzyna de Lazari-Radek conducting a workshop about utilitarian ethics and Henry Sidgwick, discussing several ethical thought experiments with students, expounding their contemporary formulations of utilitarianism. Other subjects discussed include reason, rationality, passion, justification of action, aims, smoking, agony, and desire. Public open lecture for the students and faculty of the European Graduate School EGS Media and Communication Studies department program Saas-Fee Switzerland Europe 2012 Peter Singer and Katarzyna de Lazari-Radek. Peter Albert David Singer, B.Phil. (graduate degree in Philosophy at the University of Oxford, England), is a renown Australian-born Jewish philosopher born on July 6th 1946. For over thirty years he has challenged traditional notions of applied ethics. He is world famous for giving the impetus to the animal rights movement. Today he holds the chair of ethics at Princeton University. Singer has also held twice the chair of philosophy in his native land at Monash University where he also founded the Centre for Human Bioethics. Peter Singer is a rationalist philosopher in the Anglo-American tradition of utilitarianism. He teaches "practical ethics", which he defines as the application of a morality to practical problems based on philosophical thinking rather than on religious beliefs. In 2009 Singer would make it to the Time magazine list of "The 100 Most Influential People in the World". His 1975 book "Animal Liberation" would greatly influence the modern movements of animal welfare. There he argues against speciesism, which is the discrimination between beings on the sole basis of their species, and in this way it is almost always in practice in favor of members of the human race against non-human animals. In 1977 he would be appointed to the chair of philosophy at Monash University where he was to become the first director of the Centre for Human Bioethics. In 1996 he would run unsuccessfully as a Green candidate for the Australian Senate. In 2004 he would be recognized as the Australian humanist of the year by the Council of Australian Humanist Societies. In 1971 Singer wrote an article entitled "Famine, Affluence, and Morality" which remains today one of his most known philosophical essays. In 2009 he wrote "The Life You Can Save: Acting Now to End World Poverty". There Peter Singer demonstrates that for the first time in its history humanity has the financial and material resources to eradicate poverty worldwide. In 2011 he re-published one of his most important works, "Practical Ethics" (1979), which continues to be influential today. Katarzyna de Lazari-Radek, Ph.D., is a Polish utilitarian philosopher and lecturer at the Institute of Philosophy at Lodz University in Poland where she also completed her dissertation. Professor Lazari-Radek also teaches an intensive summer seminar on utilitarian ethics at the European Graduate School (EGS) together with the famous applied ethics philosopher, also one of the animal rights founder, Peter Singer. She would do two Master's degrees, also at Lodz University, one in English Literature (2000) and one in Philosophy (2001). Lazari-Radek's doctoral dissertation (2007) examined the work of the utilitarian English philosopher and economist Henry Sidgwick (1838-1900), whose work on work has had a lasting impact, especially in economics. Her dissertation was entitled Good and Reason in the Moral Philosophy of Henry Sidgwick (2007). Professor Lazari-Radek's research since then has focused on a plethora of ethical issues, including bioethics, medical ethics, the ethics of aid, the ethical aspects of globalization, as well as both the ethics of journalism and the ethics of research. She is the author of articles, including one with Peter Singer published in Ratio the international journal of analytic philosophy, entitled Secrecy in Consequentionalism: A Defence of Esoteric Morality (2010). Other articles of hers include, a popular article entitled "Yeshayahu Leibowitz - prorok wśród swoich" (2004), which in English translates as Yeshayahu Leibowitz - A Prophet among His People about the famous Israeli public intellectual, known for his commentaries on Judaism and ethics. More recently in 2011 she wrote "Dualizm rozumu praktycznego" which translates as Dualism of Practical Reason. Professor Lazari-Radek has a forthcoming book (expected for 2013) written with Peter Singer called Sidgwick and Contemporary Ethics, which will be published Oxford University Press. -

Famous quotes by Henry Sidgwick:
"We think so because other people all think so, Or because - or because - after all we do think so, Or because we were told so, and think we must think so, Or because we once thought so, and think we still think so, Or because having thought so, we think we will think so."

Lesley Chamberlain - Sidgwick's Dilemna
DescriptionAt the end of a long philosophical career Henry Sidgwick (1834-1900) found that there was no reason for human beings to be moral. He hesitated over whether to make his findings public. When two prominent twentieth-century British philosophers reviewed Sidgwick’s dilemma in the 1960s one scoffed and the other mourned. This is not a paper about mourning the consequences of human mortality so much as narrating one man’s moment of loss (Alasdair MacIntyre), a funeral, as it were, at which the other man (Bernard Williams) cheered. I’ll try to draw from this minimalist British version of ‘The Death of God’ some interesting tensions in how we label our moral visions. -

Bart Schultz's (University of Chicago) Review of the book: http://ndpr.nd.edu/news/49215-he-point-of-view-of-the-universe-sidgwick-and-contemporary-ethics/
"Restoring Sidgwick to his rightful place of philosophical honor and cogently defending his central positions are obviously no small tasks, but the authors are remarkably successful in pulling them off, in a defense that, in the case of Singer at least, means candidly acknowledging that previous defenses of Hare's universal prescriptivism and of a desire or preference satisfaction theory of the good were not in the end advances on the hedonistic utilitarianism set out by Sidgwick. But if struggles with Singer's earlier selves run throughout the book, they are intertwined with struggles to come to terms with the work of Derek Parfit, both Reasons and Persons (Oxford, 1984) and On What Matters (Oxford, 2011), works that have virtually defined the field of analytical rehabilitations of Sidgwick's arguments. The real task of The Point of View of the Universe -- the title being an expression that Sidgwick used to refer to the impartial moral point of view -- is to defend the effort to be even more Sidgwickian than Parfit, and, intriguingly enough, even more Sidgwickian than Sidgwick himself."

Karl Popper
(The Open Society and Its Enemies, 1952)
The term "negative utilitariaism" (NU) was coined by Sir Karl Popper (Popper, Karl: 1952. The Open Society and its Enemies. Princeton N.J.: Princeton University Press. vol.I ch.5, note 6). The concept of negative utilitarianism was foreshadowed earlier e.g. in the work of Edmund Gurney (1847-88). It has obvious affinities with Buddhism. At first blush, NU appears to entail mass euthanasia, although this implication has been disputed.
Karl Popper was both a philosopher of science and a political philosopher. He is perhaps most famous for his falsification principle (The Logic of Scientific Discovery, 1934), a proposed methodological rule to demarcate science from non-science.
Popper's "negative utilitarian" principle is that we should act to minimise suffering rather than maximise pleasure. Classical utilitarian philosophers such as Henry Sidgwick had explicitly argued for the moral symmetry of happiness and suffering. Complications aside, they supposed that increases in happiness, and reductions in suffering, are essentially of equal value when of equal magnitude. Popper disagreed. He believed that the practical consequences of the supposed moral symmetry were dangerous too. "Philosophers should consider the fact that the greatest happiness principle can easily be made an excuse for a benevolent dictatorship. We should replace it by a more modest and more realistic principle: the principle that the fight against avoidable misery should be a recognized aim of public policy, while the increase of happiness should be left, in the main, to private initiative."
Popper believed that by acting to minimise suffering, we avoid the terrible risks of "utopianism", by which he had in mind the communist and fascist dictatorships of the twentieth century. "Those who promise us paradise on earth never produced anything but a hell." A staunch advocate of the "open society", Popper defended "piecemeal social engineering" rather than grandiose state planning.
Ironically, the full realisation of a negative utilitarian ethic depends inescapably on the "utopian" planning that Popper abhorred. Only a global bioengineering project of unparalleled ambition could bring about the eradication of suffering throughout the living world - not piecemeal social engineering. In seeking to liberate the world from the tyranny of pain, negative utilitarianism is no less "totalitarian" in its policy implications than communism or fascism, albeit vastly more compassionate.
It is an irony that Sir Karl would not have appreciated.
[I paraphrased in a few places, so here is the exact text.]
wn.com/Karl Popper And Negative Utilitarianism
http://www.utilitarianism.com/karl-popper.html
"I believe that there is, from the ethical point of view, no symmetry between suffering and happiness, or between pain and pleasure. Both the greatest happiness principle of the Utilitarians and Kant's principle, "Promote other people's happiness...", seem to me (at least in their formulations) fundamentally wrong in this point, which is, however, not one for rational argument....In my opinion...human suffering makes a direct moral appeal for help, while there is no similar call to increase the happiness of a man who is doing well anyway."
Karl Popper
(The Open Society and Its Enemies, 1952)
The term "negative utilitariaism" (NU) was coined by Sir Karl Popper (Popper, Karl: 1952. The Open Society and its Enemies. Princeton N.J.: Princeton University Press. vol.I ch.5, note 6). The concept of negative utilitarianism was foreshadowed earlier e.g. in the work of Edmund Gurney (1847-88). It has obvious affinities with Buddhism. At first blush, NU appears to entail mass euthanasia, although this implication has been disputed.
Karl Popper was both a philosopher of science and a political philosopher. He is perhaps most famous for his falsification principle (The Logic of Scientific Discovery, 1934), a proposed methodological rule to demarcate science from non-science.

http://egs.edu/ Peter Singer and Katarzyna de Lazari-Radek conducting a workshop about utilitarian ethics and Henry Sidgwick, discussing several ethical thought experiments with students, expounding their contemporary formulations of utilitarianism. Other subjects discussed include reason, rationality, passion, justification of action, aims, smoking, agony, and desire. Public open lecture for the students and faculty of the European Graduate School EGS Media and Communication Studies department program Saas-Fee Switzerland Europe 2012 Peter Singer and Katarzyna de Lazari-Radek.
Peter Albert David Singer, B.Phil. (graduate degree in Philosophy at the University of Oxford, England), is a renown Australian-born Jewish philosopher born on July 6th 1946. For over thirty years he has challenged traditional notions of applied ethics. He is world famous for giving the impetus to the animal rights movement. Today he holds the chair of ethics at Princeton University. Singer has also held twice the chair of philosophy in his native land at Monash University where he also founded the Centre for Human Bioethics. Peter Singer is a rationalist philosopher in the Anglo-American tradition of utilitarianism. He teaches "practical ethics", which he defines as the application of a morality to practical problems based on philosophical thinking rather than on religious beliefs. In 2009 Singer would make it to the Time magazine list of "The 100 Most Influential People in the World".
His 1975 book "Animal Liberation" would greatly influence the modern movements of animal welfare. There he argues against speciesism, which is the discrimination between beings on the sole basis of their species, and in this way it is almost always in practice in favor of members of the human race against non-human animals. In 1977 he would be appointed to the chair of philosophy at Monash University where he was to become the first director of the Centre for Human Bioethics. In 1996 he would run unsuccessfully as a Green candidate for the Australian Senate. In 2004 he would be recognized as the Australian humanist of the year by the Council of Australian Humanist Societies. In 1971 Singer wrote an article entitled "Famine, Affluence, and Morality" which remains today one of his most known philosophical essays. In 2009 he wrote "The Life You Can Save: Acting Now to End World Poverty". There Peter Singer demonstrates that for the first time in its history humanity has the financial and material resources to eradicate poverty worldwide. In 2011 he re-published one of his most important works, "Practical Ethics" (1979), which continues to be influential today.
Katarzyna de Lazari-Radek, Ph.D., is a Polish utilitarian philosopher and lecturer at the Institute of Philosophy at Lodz University in Poland where she also completed her dissertation. Professor Lazari-Radek also teaches an intensive summer seminar on utilitarian ethics at the European Graduate School (EGS) together with the famous applied ethics philosopher, also one of the animal rights founder, Peter Singer. She would do two Master's degrees, also at Lodz University, one in English Literature (2000) and one in Philosophy (2001). Lazari-Radek's doctoral dissertation (2007) examined the work of the utilitarian English philosopher and economist Henry Sidgwick (1838-1900), whose work on work has had a lasting impact, especially in economics. Her dissertation was entitled Good and Reason in the Moral Philosophy of Henry Sidgwick (2007).
Professor Lazari-Radek's research since then has focused on a plethora of ethical issues, including bioethics, medical ethics, the ethics of aid, the ethical aspects of globalization, as well as both the ethics of journalism and the ethics of research. She is the author of articles, including one with Peter Singer published in Ratio the international journal of analytic philosophy, entitled Secrecy in Consequentionalism: A Defence of Esoteric Morality (2010). Other articles of hers include, a popular article entitled "Yeshayahu Leibowitz - prorok wśród swoich" (2004), which in English translates as Yeshayahu Leibowitz - A Prophet among His People about the famous Israeli public intellectual, known for his commentaries on Judaism and ethics. More recently in 2011 she wrote "Dualizm rozumu praktycznego" which translates as Dualism of Practical Reason. Professor Lazari-Radek has a forthcoming book (expected for 2013) written with Peter Singer called Sidgwick and Contemporary Ethics, which will be published Oxford University Press.

Today he holds the chair of ethics at Princeton University. Singer has also held twice the chair of philosophy in his native land at Monash University where he also founded the Centre for Human Bioethics. Peter Singer is a rationalist philosopher in the Anglo-American tradition of utilitarianism. He teaches "practical ethics", which he defines as the application of a morality to practical problems based on philosophical thinking rather than on religious beliefs. In 2009 Singer would make it to the Time magazine list of "The 100 Most Influential People in the World".
His 1975 book "Animal Liberation" would greatly influence the modern movements of animal welfare. There he argues against speciesism, which is the discrimination between beings on the sole basis of their species, and in this way it is almost always in practice in favor of members of the human race against non-human animals. In 1977 he would be appointed to the chair of philosophy at Monash University where he was to become the first director of the Centre for Human Bioethics. In 1996 he would run unsuccessfully as a Green candidate for the Australian Senate. In 2004 he would be recognized as the Australian humanist of the year by the Council of Australian Humanist Societies. In 1971 Singer wrote an article entitled "Famine, Affluence, and Morality" which remains today one of his most known philosophical essays. In 2009 he wrote "The Life You Can Save: Acting Now to End World Poverty". There Peter Singer demonstrates that for the first time in its history humanity has the financial and material resources to eradicate poverty worldwide. In 2011 he re-published one of his most important works, "Practical Ethics" (1979), which continues to be influential today.
Katarzyna de Lazari-Radek, Ph.D., is a Polish utilitarian philosopher and lecturer at the Institute of Philosophy at Lodz University in Poland where she also completed her dissertation. Professor Lazari-Radek also teaches an intensive summer seminar on utilitarian ethics at the European Graduate School (EGS) together with the famous applied ethics philosopher, also one of the animal rights founder, Peter Singer. She would do two Master's degrees, also at Lodz University, one in English Literature (2000) and one in Philosophy (2001). Lazari-Radek's doctoral dissertation (2007) examined the work of the utilitarian English philosopher and economist Henry Sidgwick (1838-1900), whose work on work has had a lasting impact, especially in economics. Her dissertation was entitled Good and Reason in the Moral Philosophy of Henry Sidgwick (2007).
Professor Lazari-Radek's research since then has focused on a plethora of ethical issues, including bioethics, medical ethics, the ethics of aid, the ethical aspects of globalization, as well as both the ethics of journalism and the ethics of research.

Quentin Skinner - What is the State? The question that “will not go away”
Quentin Skinner is Regius Professor of Modern History at Cambridge University. Prof Skinner performed the opening lecture of Dr Lee See Distinguished Lectures at Cambridge University on 24 October 2007. In the lecture, Professor Skinner challenged modern notions that no single person or institution can any longer be taken to exercise state sovereignty. He argued that the contemporary sceptical view about the state was a “serious mistake”, and he laid the groundwork for his case by tracing the history of how the question had been tackled in Anglophone legal and political thought. The state is the name normally assigned to the agency that wields sovereign power over some determinate territory.

Quentin Skinner is Regius Professor of Modern History at Cambridge University. Prof Skinner performed the opening lecture of Dr Lee See Distinguished Lectures at Cambridge University on 24 October 2007.
In the lecture, Professor Skinner challenged modern notions that no single person or institution can any longer be taken to exercise state sovereignty. He argued that the contemporary sceptical view about the state was a “serious mistake”, and he laid the groundwork for his case by tracing the history of how the question had been tackled in Anglophone legal and political thought.
The state is the name normally assigned to the agency that wields sovereign power over some determinate territory. But this is scarcely a very illuminating definition, for what we basically need to know, in order to grasp the concept of the state, is whose actions properly count as actions of this agency, and hence as authentic expressions of the sovereignty of the state. The lecture proceeded by way of offering a genealogy of various rival answers that had been given to the question “What is the State?”. The earliest answer, the one we encounter among the parliamentarian and radical writers of the c17 English revolution, is that the power of the state can be equated with the power of the whole body of the people. This understanding was instantly challenged by Thomas Hobbes, whose Leviathan seeks to insist that the power of the state is that of a fictional Person distinct from both rulers and ruled. This conception of state power had a considerable influence in the course of the ensuing century. Notably, it is the understanding of the state that underpins William Blackstone’s Commentaries on the Laws of England. With Jeremy Bentham's attack on Blackstone, however, and with the growing influence of utilitarian legal and political theory, this vision was in turn challenged by a purportedly commonsensical view, present in Bentham, John Austin and later utilitarians such as Henry Sidgwick, according to which the power of the state is nothing other than the power of an established government.
The lecture concluded with an assessment of the sceptical view of the state now prevalent in much contemporary political science. If, the sceptics argue, we take the state to be the bearer of sovereignty, and if we ask whose actions can properly be identified as actions of the state, we have to admit that there is no specific person or body of persons whose actions are equivalent to the actions of the state, simply because there is no specific person or body of persons who can any longer be said to exercise untrammelled sovereignty. The lecture ended by asking whether this marked the end of the road for the theory of the state. Professor Skinner’s case was that the issue is still very much alive, and indeed a question that “will not go away”. Such is the importance and nature of the debate, however, that how the question is to be answered in our times remains wide open.

Bedtime story: Principles of Economics
By Alfred Marshall (1842-1924)
“The most valuable of all capital is that invested in human beings.” An uncannily prophetic quote from an 1890 book, Principles of Economics by Alfred Marshall presents an idea that has been accepted by major corporations and governments all over the world today.
People's understanding of market behavior and how industries operate has its roots in the work done by European economists more than a century ago. Little has changed in terms of principles, though the effects of globalization and technology resulted an unmistakable impact on how business is done today.
Alfred Marshall was a thought leader. He presented path breaking concepts like the principle of diminishing returns: the assumption that companies or products who taste early success in markets soon fall prey to their own limitations, thus leading to a quantifiable and predictable equilibrium of market share and pricing.
He was a prize winning mathematician at Cambridge and a brilliant physics student. However a nervous breakdown while at college compelled him to shift to the study of philosophy where he was deeply attracted by the concepts of Utilitarianism as propounded by Henry Sidgwick, a famous teacher and founder of Newnham College. Marshall went on to describe Sidgwick as his “spiritual mother and father.” One of Sidgwick's guiding principles was that no person should act so as to destroy his own happiness, a form of “ethical hedonism.”
Marshall began writing Principles of Economics in 1881, part of a two volume treatise. However, it took him nearly ten years to complete the first volume and when it came out, it received so much acclaim that he ultimately abandoned the idea of a second volume. He spent the next twenty years trying to work on the second one, but was compelled to add to/update/revise newer and newer editions of the earlier book which left him little time for anything else.
Principles of Economics went on to become a standard treatise on the subject and a leading textbook for generations of students. Divided into six major “Books”, it deals with fundamentals like wealth, income, capital, wants and deferred satisfaction, agents of production like land, agriculture, industry, health of working populations, industrial organization, demand, supply and value and the distribution of income.
Modern economists owe a huge debt to Marshall, since he was the first to link price and curve shifts, describe the concept of “elasticity of demand.” Principles of Economics is a watershed in economic thought and has influenced the thinking and work of generations of economists like Pigou and Keynes who were his students, Milton Friedman and many others.
