The philosophy put forth by Jeremy Bentham that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the individual has been used to justify such things as murder and cannibalism. Some people view Bentham’s Utilitarian philosophy as more noble than other philosophies like, for instance, the Objectivist beliefs of Ayn Rand. People have called Ayn Rand a fascist for placing value on the rights of the individual. I believe that Bentham’s Utilitarian, needs of the many, spiel is much more fascist. Objectivism has never been used as an excuse for cannibalism, however Utilitarianism has. Here is a poetic rant about my frustrations over the fact that this part of Bentham’s philosophy is so blindly accepted and promoted, even by those who have no idea who Jeremy Bentham was.
