About this listen
Professor Philip Schofield and Professor Gregory Dart discuss the philosophical differences between Utilitarianism and Romanticism, in the context of the founding of the “Cockney College”, as UCL was known at the time. They explore how Bentham’s utilitarian principles, emphasising happiness and the greatest good, contrasted with Romantic notions of moral intentions and conscience.
