Question

A 1996 book by David Cummiskey develops a Kantian framework named for these things. The essay “War and Murder” argues that a distinction between two kinds of these things is rooted in “Cartesian psychology,” which requires “making a little speech to yourself: ‘What I mean to be doing is…’” A contrived objection to a doctrine named for these things considers a fat man who is stuck in the mouth of a cave in which floodwaters are rising, while a group trapped inside has some dynamite. Every English philosopher after (*) Sidgwick has rejected the “intent-foresight” distinction of these things (-5[1])according to Anscombe’s “Modern Moral Philosophy,” which first described an “-ism” named for them. The trolley problem was introduced in a Philippa Foot paper titled for Aquinas’ doctrine of the “double” (-5[1])one of these (10[1])things. For 10 points, what things name an approach exemplified by utilitarianism? ■END■ (10[2])
