Book Description
Building on a fresh conception of the nature of an ethical theory, Professor Barrow claims that utilitarianism is the most coherent and persuasive theory available. Taking due account of recent scholarship in the field, he argues succinctly and persuasively for a specific form of rule-utilitarianism. He seeks to show, in particular, that utilitarianism is not, as critics often suggest, in any way an impoverished view of morality.
About the Author
Review ’Barrow has made a novel and important contribution to our understanding of utilitarian theory, especially with his arguments concerning the nature and function of ethical theories and his tripartite account of moral acts.’
