-
translating all values, in this case, a certain idea of virtue,
-
into utilitarian terms.
-
So, that's all to illustrate the second objection to utilitarianism,
-
at least the part of that objection,
-
that questions whether utilitarianism is right to assume that
-
we can assume the uniformity of value, the commensurability of all values
-
and translate all moral considerations into dollars or money.
-
But there is a second aspect to this worry about
-
aggregating values and preferences.
-
Why should we weigh all preferences that people have
-
without assessing whether they're good preferences or bad preferences?
-
Shouldn't we distinguish between higher pleasures and lower pleasures?
