Description
A collection of essays by Fred Feldman on utilitarian moral philosophy.
Reviews
'Fred Feldman is the most distinguished contemporary defender of 'the utilitarian idea'. One of his long-standing concerns has been to try to work out how best to formulate it, and these essays are among his efforts to do so. They display extraordinary analytical skill, and they make clear that much more can be said for the idea than its opponents would lead you to believe. A helpful Introduction describes the problems that need to be solved, and summarizes the ways in which the essays try to solve them. All but one of the essays were previously published, in a scatter of places; it is very welcome to have them available in one volume, for classroom use as well as for private study.'
