Questions on Morals and Utilitarianism

Abstract: 5 pages. William Frankena in his article "Why Be Moral" feels that those who have been moral would choose to do so again if given the chance. For instance, when Socrates chose to be moral by refusing to escape from prison on death row, he was making a rational choice. He was able to make a rational decision to not be immoral. This paper explains this theory and also looks at utilitarianism as quoted by J. S. Mill, and discusses the difference between act and rule utilitarianism. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
