Heavy duty: on the demands of consequentialism
[Stockholm]: Stockholm: Almqvist & Wiksell International (1994)
Abstract
Various versions of the objection to utilitarianism that it is too demanding are discussed and rejected. It is argued that a scalar version of utilitarianism that makes wrongness a matter of degree further improves the prospects for utilitarianism to escape the demandingness-objection.Author's Profile
