Mark Carl Rom How Should We Decide? Utilitarianism Deontology Casuistry

Mark Carl Rom Utilitarianism “Greatest good for the greatest number” “Maximize social efficiency” “Greatest possible sum of benefits” Cost benefit analysis Critique?

Mark Carl Rom Deontology The “categorical imperative” (Kant) “One should act only on maxims that can be universalized as principles of law without producing a situation that would frustrate the end to which they aim” “Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of another, always at the same time as an end and never simply as a means”

Mark Carl Rom Casuistry Pragmatism Works with socially-agreed up on values Links specific actions and moral principles Human perceptiveness and discernment Mediates between competing values and accepts tradeoffs

Mark Carl Rom Casuistry Example: The First Amendment “Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom of speech”…  Exceptions?
