<p>Just wondering, thanks.</p>
<p>Oh and existentialism as well. I’m assuming these will be within the Philosophy department but perhaps there could be others, like history and/or english.</p>
<p>Both are under philosophy. In some schools, existentialism is covered in french departments because most western philosophy is analytic and doesn’t deal with it.</p>
<p>Any introductory ethics class, or maybe even introductory philosophy class, should introduce you into utilitarianism. It’s a pretty huge field within philosophy. Mostly through Mill and Sidgwick, but which, imo, contrast with people like Kant and Rawls.</p>
<p>i don’t go to berkeley, but different teachers usually introduce you into similar concepts with different texts. Just send an email to one of the teachers for these classes and ask them if they’ll cover it. I doubt you’ll find a whole LD class devoted to one, but you’ll get some introduction to it nevertheless.</p>
<p>Berkeley Law school hosted a conference on utilitarianism a few years back, deals with it in courses and its Kadish Center would have considerable focus on it. </p>
<p>Bishop Berkeley was a well known utilitarian philosopher [George</a> Berkeley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Berkeley]George”>George Berkeley - Wikipedia) and he is the eponym for the city and the university here.</p>
<p>Political Science deals with it - class 112C for example.</p>
<p>I’ve had classes that covered utilitarianism in Legal Studies, Philosophy, and Political Science.</p>
<p>Add economics to the list, you will definitely discuss the concept there.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone
Also, if anyone knows specific course numbers, be sure to list them</p>
