I'm offering ψ1 for each two properly documented and reasonably famous additions to the List of utilitarians. Sir Paul 04:58, Feb 16, 2004 (UTC)
I'm deleting G.E. Moore. He was a consequentialist, but he opposed any naturalistic conception of what is good -- and the definition of good as pleasure is precisely what he had in mind when he complained of the "naturalistic fallacy" in ethics.
I deleted Murray Rothbard he was not a utilitarian but believed in natural rights
Margaret Thatcher??? is there a reference for this?
I am going to delete Ludwig von Mises unless somebody wants to provide an link arguing otherwise. He classified himself as a "classical liberal" and by others as a "libertarian." Both of these ideological groupings genereally believe strongly in natural rights.
Karl Popper was NOT a utilitarian surely??? Are we not confusing concepts about 'public welfare' with utilitarianism the ethical doctrine? I think we are.
Should Zell Kravinsky be added to this list? His article says he is utilitarian, and I got some results searching for his name and "utilitarian" or "utilitarianism".
Also, should all people on this list also be added to the "utilitarians" category? Thanks in advance! --Kletta (talk) 04:33, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
