Harsanyi and utility
Harsanyi claimed that his theory is indebted to Adam Smith, who equated the moral point of view with that of an impartial but sympathetic observer ; to Kant who insisted on the criterion of universality and which may also be described as a criterion of reciprocity ; to the classical utilitarians who made maximising social utility the basic criterion of morality ; and to ‘ the modern theory of rational behaviour under risk and uncertainty, usually described as Bayesian decision theory ’.
Harsanyi claimed that a person in the original position would maximize his or her expected utility, rather than choosing minimax.
John Harsanyi agrees that full comparability of mental states such as utility is never possible but believes, however, that human beings are able to make some interpersonal comparisons of utility because they share some common backgrounds, cultural experiences, etc.
