Henry John McCloskey (1925–2000) was an Australian moral philosopher and writer.
McCloskey was Professor of Philosophy at La Trobe University in Melbourne.[1] After graduating from the University of Melbourne, he had appointments at the University of Western Australia and the University of Melbourne before taking up a chair at La Trobe. He was president of the Australasian Association of Philosophy in 1978.[1] McCloskey is known for his sheriff scenario, a thought experiment he used to criticize "extreme" utilitarianism, or what later came to be known as act utilitarianism.
He was married to Mary Agnes McCloskey.[2] McCloskey was an atheist. He argued that the problem of evil provides conclusive evidence against theism.
McCloskey was a noted critic of animal rights.[3][4] McCloskey stated that animals cannot have moral rights but they can be given legal rights.[5]
