Purpose in the Universe: The Moral and Metaphysical Case for Ananthropocentric Purposivism
ISBN: 9780199646142 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Two familiar worldviews dominate Western philosophy: materialist atheism and the benevolent God of the Abrahamic faiths. Tim Mulgan explores a third way. Ananthropocentric Purposivism claims that there is a cosmic purpose, but human beings are irrelevant to it. Purpose in the Universe develops a philosophical case for Ananthropocentric Purposivism that it is at least as strong as the case for either theism or atheism. The book borrows traditional theist arguments to defend a cosmic purpose. These include cosmological, teleological, ontological, meta-ethical, and mystical arguments....

ISBN: 9781844650903 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

The book begins with a summary of the classical utilitarianism of the eighteenth and nineteenth...

ISBN: 9781844654871 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Imagine living in the future in a world already damaged by humankind, a world where resources are insufficient to meet everyone's basic needs and where a chaotic climate makes life precarious.

The Demands of Consequentialism
ISBN: 9780199286973 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Tim Mulgan presents a penetrating examination of consequentialism, the theory that human behavior must be judged in terms of the goodness or badness of its consequences. The problem with consequentialism is that it seems unreasonably demanding, as leaving the agent no room for our own aims and interests. In response, Mulgan offers his own version of consequentialism, one that we can live with.

Utilitarianism
ISBN: 9781108730600 / Angielski / Miękka / 2020 / 74 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Utilitarianism's central commitment is to the promotion of well-being, impartially considered. If scarce resources should be directed where they will best promote well-being, and if theoretical attention is a scarce resource, then moral theorists should focus on topics that are most important to the future promotion of well-being.

Future People: A Moderate Consequentialist Account of Our Obligations to Future Generations
ISBN: 9780199556731 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 394 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What do we owe to our descendants? How do we balance their needs against our own? Tim Mulgan develops a new theory of our obligations to future generations, based on a new rule-consequentialist account of the morality of individual reproduction. He argues that the resulting theory accounts for a wide range of independently plausible intuitions--covering individual morality, intergenerational justice, and international justice. In particular, the moderate consequentialist approach is superior to its two main rivals in this area - person-affecting theories and traditional consequentialism. The...
