I am indeed a hedonistic utilitarian. I have defended hedonistic utilitarianism for quite a while.

We should not accept moral nihilism unless we find strong arguments to do so.

When I was in my late teens I was already interested in philosophy.

To kill or not to kill, that was the question that haunted me.

I do believe that what I have called populist democracy is to be preferred to what I have called elitist democracy.

Once we realise that utilitarianism comes with the idea of blameworthy rightdoing (such as when you push a big man onto the tracks in order to save five lives) and blameless wrongdoing (such as when you don't push a big man onto the tracks in order to save five lives), then utilitarianism all of a sudden appears to give the right answers.

Are there any good arguments in defence of moral nihilism? I think not.
