The Philosophy behind 'Love Island'

Image
'Love Island' is undoubtedly one of this summers most watched programmes, but what is the philosophy behind it? 'Love island' is a reality show where people compete to be the best couple to win money. Although the idea is to find love, few apply for this reason alone. In philosophy this is called means to an end. You apply for a popular show to find love, to become famous, to win money and eventually to have a better life. This may be for some the supreme Good or eudaimonia.  Utilitarians foundation of their consequentialist moral theory is psychological hedonism. Psychological hedonism is the empirical idea that humans persue pleasure and strive to minimise pain. This in turn is the utility principle which is what contestants on 'Love Island' persue.  The contestants are often accused of playing a game in order to win the show and to discuss this we must first understand Kantian Ethics.

International Climate Change Protest - 15th March

Friday 15th March Climate Protest JOIN US IN WESTMINSTER - SAVE OUR PLANET THE CLIMATE CRISIS OPEN LETTER We, the young, are deeply concerned about our future. Humanity is currently causing the sixth mass extinction of species and the global climate system is at the brink of a catastrophic crisis. Its devastating impacts are already felt by millions of people around the globe. Yet we are far from reaching the goals of the Paris agreement. Young people make up more than half of the global population. Our generation grew up with the climate crisis and we will have to deal with it for the rest of our lives. Despite that fact, most of us are not included in the local and global decision-making process. We are the voiceless future of humanity. We will no longer accept this injustice. We demand justice for all past, current and future victims of the climate crisis, and so we are rising up. Thousands of us have taken to the streets in the past weeks all around the world. Now w...
