Book Synopsis The Utilitarian Response by : Lincoln Allison
Download or read book The Utilitarian Response written by Lincoln Allison. This book was released on 1990-03. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the capacity of utilitarianism to respond to the challenge of theories such as those of Rawls, Nozick and Dworkin, which focus primarily on the individual. Its central questions concern the intellectual coherence and moral acceptability of utilitarian answers to important problems, including health care, punishment and electoral arrangements. Its key themes are the relationship between private ethics and public policy, between utility and freedom, utility and democracy, and the role and limitations of states, both internally and internationally.
