On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
I present a theory of measurement of preference intensities and well-being and use this measure as a foundation for utilitarianism. To do this, I consider outcomes as being experienced over time. An individual has preferences over such experiences. I present axioms under which preferences are represented by an experienced utility representation (XU) equal to the integral of instantaneous well-being over time and unique up to a positive scalar. I propose an ethical postulate under which societal preferences are utilitarian in experienced utilities.
