	Shirley Williams, Baroness Williams of Crosby - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Bernard Williams - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shirley Williams, as she became known, was elected as a Labour Member of Parliament, then crossed the floor as one of the "Gang of Four" to become a founding member of the SDP, a centrist breakaway party.
		Williams was particularly critical of utilitarianism, a consequentialist theory, the simplest version of which argues that moral acts are good only insofar as they promote the greatest happiness of the greatest number.
		Williams' insistence that morality is about people and their real lives, and that acting out of self-interest and even selfishness are not contrary to moral action, is illustrated in his "internal reasons for action" argument, part of what philosophers call the "internal/external reasons" debate.

	Bernard Williams
		Williams has a different answer to the puzzle why we blame people more when they are successful murderers, or not only reckless but lethal motorists, despite the fact that they have no voluntary control over their success as murderers or their lethality as motorists.
		Williams' point is rather that the whole business of compiling balance-sheets of the utilitarian sort is incompatible with the phenomenon of agency as we know it: “the reason why utilitarianism cannot understand integrity is that it cannot coherently describe the relations between a man's projects and his actions” (UFA: 100).
		Williams sees an incoherence at the very heart of the project of indirect utilitarianism, because he does not believe that the ambition to justify one's life “from the outside” in the utilitarian fashion can be coherently combined with the ambition to live that life “from the inside”.

	MONDAY INTERVIEW: BARONESS WILLIAMS OF CROSBY - `The picture of Independent, The (London) - Find Articles
		Lady Williams' loss of voice is due in part to the gruelling schedule she sets herself, including lectures in Britain, Russia and America and, recently, a round of television interviews about the return of five Guantanamo Bay captives to Britain.
		But Lady Williams fears the interrogation of the captives may have undermined the chance of a trial and their confessions may not prove admissible in court.
		In America, where Lady Williams spent part of her childhood during the war, she is held in the highest regard among the Washington and Harvard cognoscenti.

	Martha Nussbaum: Tragedy and Justice
		Kantianism, as Williams understood it, was a theory that made the concept of moral obligation central while neglecting the contribution to the moral life of the emotions, personal relationships, and necessity.
		Williams made it clear that his argument was intended as an objection not only to utilitarianism but to all forms of consequentialism—all views, that is, that hold that an action is right just in case it promotes the best consequences.
		Williams argues that our judgment of Gauguin is appropriately dependent on matters that Gauguin could not have foreseen at the time and that were not fully under his control.

		The noble Baroness has put forward the perfectly fair argument that, in her view, the amendment was framed in too broad a way.
