2 coats. One might do it. I tried so desperately hard to get an accurate photo but cannot explain what went wrong. Familiar Topshop quality.
Now on to the much more interesting meat after the disappointing hors d'oeuvre.
Utilitarianism
This fascinated me as a teenager when I read an article (Sunday supplement, I think) about Jeremy Bentham. He died in 1832 and left his body to medical science. In the 60s or 70s his head was still on display in one of the London University colleges and there was a picture of it which both intrigued and disgusted me. Being a typical teenager with an interest in the macabre and radical thought I was hugely interested. Bentham advocated sexual equality and the liberalisation of laws against homosexuals amongst other things. Good egg.
This is NOT the real head which is now safely locked away as it became the target for student pranks (yuk!) but I believe that the skeleton stuffed with straw does remain the basis of the body.
Utilitarianism is swiftly described as ".. the greatest good for the greatest number.." Now read on!
- Its intensity.
- Its duration.
- Its certainty or uncertainty.
- Its propinquity, or remoteness.
- Its fecundity, or the chance it has of being followed by similar sensations: that is, pleasures, if it is pleasure: pains, if it is pain.
- Its purity, or the chance it has of not being followed by, sensations of the opposite kind: that is, pain, if it is pleasure: pleasure, if it is pain.
- Its extent (the number of people who are affected by it).
It's one way to determine your actions and not a bad one at that. Discuss.
