Description

Part two of Philosophiraga's look at moral philosophy, in which we discuss utilitarianism.

Are quantitative calculations the best way to go when deciding the right thing to do? Do we murder little girls for superpowered sea slugs, or... not? And why didn't BioShock go all in on the moral quandary anyway?!
