Liberal Utilitarianism and Applied Ethics
ISBN: 9781138871397 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Liberal Utilitarianism and Applied Ethics explores the foundations of early utilitarianism and, at the same time, the theoretical bases of social ethics and policy in modern Western welfare states. Matti Hayry sees the main reason for utilitarianism's growing disrepute among moral philosophers is that its principles cannot legitimately be extended to situations where the basic needs of the individuals involved are in conflict. He is able to formulate a solution to this fundamental problem by arguing convincingly that by combining a limited version of liberal utilitarianism and the...

Liberal Utilitarianism and Applied Ethics
ISBN: 9780415077859 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 205 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This text demonstrates how philosophers have misunderstood the nature of utilitarianism since the turn of the 19th century and identifies the resulting problems in contemporary utilitarianism. It argues that when the classical utilitarian principles of happiness, hedonism and impartiality are combined, the ensuing ethical theory may demand that we act immorally or unjustly. This is because the scope of the utilitarian theory has been extended too far.

Is there any justification for the common practice of allocating expensive medical resources to rescue a few from rare diseases, when those resources could be used to treat devastating diseases that affect the many?

This book explores the many connections that bioethical thinking has with social reality. Bioethics, if it is to be effective, must engage with and address the actualities of modern life: policies, regulations, markets, opinions, and technological advances. In these original contributions fifteen notable scholars working in the North West of England take on this challenge. The series Values in Bioethics makes available original philosophical books in all areas of bioethics, including medical and nursing ethics, health care ethics, research ethics, environmental ethics, and global bioethics.

Pure Cloning
ISBN: 9781009333788 / Angielski / Miękka / 2025 / 75 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This Element explores the rationality and morality of the kind of human reproductive cloning that does not involve genetic enhancements or other biological alterations in the individuals produced. The analysis is needed because, sooner or later, the technique will be safe enough to be tested; yet its pros and cons have not been sufficiently investigated. The literature abounds with defenses and criticisms of cloning but these do not distinguish between impure and pure forms, the one allowing the combination of reproduction and amendments, the other not. Therefore, cloning is condemned or...
