“What is the difference between your subset objection to Rawls on utilitarianism and T.H. Irwin’s commentary?”

Abstract

T.H. Irwin’s stimulating commentary on John Rawls anticipates but does not make “the subset objection to Rawls.” This term of mine is potentially misleading, but Irwin’s commentary is more so: I argue that relevant parts involve dubious commitments.
