This work's penultimate chapter undertakes to distinguish moral sentiments from other feelings.
This work's penultimate chapter undertakes to distinguish moral sentiments from other feelings. The final chapter of this work proposes to reverse the perspective of hedonistic theory by referring to a previously defined four-stage sequence of right conduct. This work argues for a separation between the notions of moral desert and legitimate expectations, and the closing section of its third chapter argues that classical utilitarianism derives from the notion of the approval of a hypothetical impartial spectator. The second chapter of this work outlines the "principles" of the title concepts, and proposes that inequalities only be allowed if they absolutely make the worst-off better. For 10 points, identify this work of political philosophy which builds a social contract by positing an "original position" that exists beneath the "veil of ignorance," written by John Rawls.
