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...

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....

Understanding Utilitarianism
ISBN: 9781844650903 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Utilitarianism - a philosophy based on the principle of the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people - has been hugely influential over the past two centuries. Beyond ethics or morality, utilitarian assumptions and arguments abound in modern economic and political life, especially in public policy. An understanding of utilitarianism is indeed essential to any understanding of contemporary society. "Understanding Utilitarianism" presents utilitarianism very much as a living tradition. The book begins with a summary of the classical utilitarianism of the eighteenth and nineteenth...

Ethics for a Broken World: Imagining Philosophy After Catastrophe
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. Then imagine looking back into the past, back to our own time and assessing the ethics of the early twenty-first century. "Ethics for a Broken World" imagines how the future might judge us and how living in a time of global environmental degradation might utterly reshape the politics and ethics of the future. This book is presented as a series of history of philosophy lectures given in the future,...

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.

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 also brings together several different contemporary philosophical discussions, including the demands of morality and international justice. His aim is to produce a coherent, intuitively plausible moral theory that is not unreasonably demanding, even when extended to cover future people. While the book focuses on developing this new account, there...

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.

The Locust and the Bee: Predators and Creators in Capitalism's Future - Updated Edition
ISBN: 9780691165745 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The recent economic crisis was a dramatic reminder that capitalism can both produce and destroy. It's a system that by its very nature encourages predators and creators, locusts and bees. But, as Geoff Mulgan argues in this compelling, imaginative, and important book, the economic crisis also presents a historic opportunity to choose a radically different future for capitalism, one that maximizes its creative power and minimizes its destructive force. In an engaging and wide-ranging argument, Mulgan digs into the history of capitalism across the world to show its animating...

The strategies adopted by governments and public officials can have dramatic effects on peoples' lives.
