Hedonistic Utilitarianism
ISBN: 9780748610426 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This volume presents a comprehensive statement in defense of the doctrine known as classical, hedonistic utilitarianism. It is presented as a viable alternative in the search for a moral theory and the claim is defended that we need such a theory. The book offers a distinctive approach and some quite controversial conclusions. Torbjorn Tannsjo challenges the assumption that hedonistic utilitarianism is at variance with common sense morality particularly as viewed through the perspective of the modern feminist moral critique.

Global Democracy: The Case for a World Government
ISBN: 9780748634989 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Is world government the answer to pressing global issues such as war, global injustices and environmental problems? Torbjorn Tannsjo presents the case for this idea.The notion of a sovereign world government has been defended in the past by philosophers such as Bertrand Russell and A.C. Ewing, but has been eclipsed by less radical ideas to do with peaceful cooperation between sovereign states or, at most, through systems of shared sovereignty. Tannsjo argues that such solutions cannot be effective; moreover he argues, in response to philosophers such as Kant and Rawls, that not only is a...

From Despotism to Democracy
ISBN: 9789819955619 / Angielski / Miękka / 2024 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book is about how best to respond to existential global threats posed by war and global heating. The stakes have become existential. A strong claim in the book is that we need a world state to save humanity. The book sheds new light on why this is so. The present author has long advocated global democracy. A strong argument against global democracy has been, however, that no state has ever been established without the resort to violence. In this book, the author bites the bullet and advocates a route to global democracy that passes through a phase where a global state is established...

Taking Life: Three Theories on the Ethics of Killing
ISBN: 9780190225575 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. When and why is it right to kill? When and why is it wrong? Torbjorn Tannsjo examines three theories on the ethics of killing in this book: deontology, a libertarian moral rights theory, and utilitarianism. The implications of each theory are worked out for different kinds of killing: trolley-cases, murder, capital punishment, suicide, assisted death, abortion, killing in war, and the killing of animals.

Terminal Sedation: Euthanasia in Disguise?
ISBN: 9789048165940 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. TERMINAL SEDATION DURING THE 1990s During the 1990s a discussion took place in scholarly journals concerning a measure within palliative care that had earlier attracted little attention, to wit, the sedation of dying patients. There seem to have been two main reasons why the practice came under debate. On the one hand, some people felt that, when palliative medicine had advanced and methods to control symptoms had improved, it was no longer justified to sedate the patients in a manner that had often been done in the past. The system of 1 terminal sedation had turned into 'euthanasia in...
