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. 16-18 dni roboczych. 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.
