I'm taking an entire course called "Weird Forms of Consequentialism", so please clarify - when you say "utilitarianism", do you speak here of direct, actual-consequence, evaluative, hedonic, maximizing, aggregative, total, universal, equal, agent-neutral consequentialism?
This sounds like an awesome course.
It is one. I am taking it for its awesomeness in spite of the professor being a mean person who considered it appropriate to schedule the class from seven to nine-thirty in the evening. (His scheduling decision and his meanness are separate qualities.)
