The City Of Omelas: A Utilitarian Compromise | Video Essay
A video essay in which I dive into the meaning of Ursula K. Le Guin's short story "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas". In this video I briefly explain the origins of the classic Utilitarian model of ethical philosophy and how it fits in the description of Omelas.
Is it right for an entire city's happiness to be predicated on the suffering of a single innocent child? I attempt to answer this question and consider its moral and ethical implications through viewing things from a broader perspective.
Le Guin's short tale of Omelas proves to be an excellent, relatable example that highlights some of the fundamental concepts of Utilitarianism.
