Hello, I'm reading some books about Utilitarianism and I have a couple of questions.
1 based on Lyons text:how can Mill avoid the possibility that slavery is permissible?
2 based on Lyons text as well: how is Mill's moral theory supposed to be different not just from act-utilitarianism but also from what Lyons calls "ordinary rule-utilitarianism"?
