Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
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.
