These things are described as “anti-utilitarian” in a book that imagines Hercules distinguishing between concepts and conceptions. Carl Cohen argued against some types of these things by defining them as claims within a “moral world.” In building his “case” for a type of these concepts, Tom Regan used the subject-of-a-life criterion. A book titled for these concepts differentiates between (*) equal treatment and treatment as an equal. Jeremy Bentham’s claim that these concepts are “nonsense upon stilts” was challenged in a Ronald Dworkin book titled Taking [these things] Seriously. The argument from marginal cases is used to argue that these concepts should be extended to animals. For 10 points, the Declaration of Independence states that life and liberty are “unalienable” examples of what concepts? ■END■
