Beschreibung

Utilitarianism directs us to act in ways that impartially maximize welfare or utility or at least aim to do that. The two authors debate various forms of this longstanding ethical theory, arguing for very different conclusions, in a way that is sure to leave readers with new views of their own moral thoughts and lives.
