Utilitiarianism has long faced the objection that it is unreasonably demanding. One of the reasons why Kantian contractualism has been seen as an appealing alternative is that it seems to be able to avoid utilitarianism's extreme demandingness, while retaining a fully impartial moral point of view. I will argue that contractualist moral obligations to help others when their basic interests are at stake are just as demanding as utilitarian obligations. My discussion will focus on Thomas Scanlon's formulation of contractualism, since I take it to be the most fully developed and powerful versiom of contractualism as an account of individual moral obligations.
