INSTRUCTIONS:
Explain in your own words what hedonism is as a theory of welfare and identify and present an objection to it, either the objection that it is “a doctrine worthy only of swine” or Nozick’s experience machine objection. If you choose the first objection, explain Mill’s answer to it and evaluate whether this answer is successful. If you choose the second objection, evaluate whether it is decisive. The paper should be 400-600 words. It should have a title, centered at the top, and be double-spaced. Papers will be graded on quality of exposition: accuracy, logic, organization, conciseness, comprehensiveness, spelling and grammar.
