Taking Utilitarianism Seriously

ISBN: 9780198732624 出版年：2019 页码：259 Woodard, Christopher Oxford University Press

Christopher Woodard presents a new and rich version of utilitarianism, the idea that ethics is ultimately about what makes people's lives go better. He launches a state-of-the-art defence of the theory, often seen as excessively simple, and shows that it can account for much of the complexity and nuance of everyday ethical thought.
