Here are some links on the theory of utilitarianism:
- A neat little biography of know-it-all John Stuart Mill.
- An advanced encyclopedia article from my favorite free online philosophy encyclopedia on utilitarianism and other theories that focus on consequences of an action.
- (Yes, there is more than one free online philosophy encyclopedia. Here's another encyclopedia's entry on the same topic.)
- The trolley problem gets brought up a lot when evaluating utilitarianism. A short video intro on it is below. Also, there's some new research on the psychology of the trolley problem.
