This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century American philosopher Robert Audi's article, "The Ethical Significance of Cost Benefit Analysis".

It focuses specifically on his last discussion in the piece, which focuses on whether cost-benefit analysis can be useful for what he calls "pluralistic" ethics, which is his own preferred moral approach.
