Essay question: ‘Nobody knows what exactly the future holds. Just think back to the beginning of

about the recent events in Europe: no one knows how long the war in the Ukraine
will last and what the global effects and repercussions of that event will be. We
could go on and on about our lack of knowledge of the future. Hence, given that
at the time of our actions, we do not know what the future holds, utilitarianism is
either false or practically irrelevant.’ Discuss
