Document Summary
How does someone have duties connected to thoughts. Bad habit of forming thoughts unreasonably and that will lead to a tendency in the committee to form thoughts or beliefs. Irrational ways of forming thoughts can spread in an irrational way. Mill would say that you should be rational, but allow fairly unrestricted free thinking to have debates with each other. People who are deliberately not trying to get at the truth and clouding it in their own interests (presidential elections, advertising, etc. ) Distributive justice: what"s the most fair way to distribute the benefits and burdens that society has to offer. Libertarians will say that it is not fair for the government to step in and take away one"s wealth. In order to have a just society, you must have an equal distribution (such as marxist society, etc. ) Or you have the libertarian ideal where you have individual liberty and therefore inequalities will develop.
