Offer the opportunity to introduce your tentative analysis and theoretical reflection on the reading by answering the question. Certainly, this isn’t a place for googling what other people might say about an issue being posed, and No one is in a position to settle issues that are inevitably subtle and complex. Conclusions are not really at issue: the intellectual process certainly is. **Questions are used to spark discussions, not necessarily to settle issues or come to conclusions.** Please respond to the question, and to at least one other student’s posts or comments engaging in coversation. Attached is a pdf of other students’ responses to the question. QUESTION:CONFIDENCES AND UTILITY
Hope and Dunn explicitly endorse a utilitarian approach to understanding the practice of confidentiality. Of course, that should be a tough sell since confidentiality, like promise-keeping, seems designed to resist an analysis in terms of good outcomes. Aren’t promises supposed to override considerations of good outcomes? How do Hope and Dunn propose making a utilitarian account of confidentiality work?
