Recenzii
This is the perfect introduction to utilitarianism: comprehensive, critical and accessible as a basis for classroom discussion or public debate.”
—Philip Pettit, Princeton University/Australian National University
"I'll certainly be referring my students to this very useful resource. Enthusiasm for utilitarianism among moral philosophers has ebbed and flowed since the modern version of it was laid out in the nineteenth-century; but the importance of the utilitarian tradition in providing elaborate, well-developed, general theories for thinking about how we ought to behave has been clear all along. This textbook provides lucid introductions to the major contributions of and challenges to utilitarian thinking, today."
—Kwame Anthony Appiah, New York University
"This is a truly excellent book. Its persuasive articulation of utilitarianism shows us why the theory has enjoyed such popularity during so many historical periods. It carefully considers all the most frequently heard objections and shows us how they go wrong. No other book on utilitarianism—and perhaps no other book in normative ethics – is so clear, comprehensive, and convincing."
