Introduction to utilitarianism from theory to practice

An introduction to utilitarianism: from theory to practice is a state-of-the-art reference in the field, easy to understand for introductory students and informative for more advanced readers. The book has two main advantages: first, its comprehensive coverage of the arguments for and against utilitarianism, which is unparalleled. Second, his serious interest in the practical effects of utilitarianism on our way of life, with particular emphasis on the principle of neutral beneficence in utilitarianism, and on its effectiveness. Based on the firm conviction that practical ethics is more about how to best use our limited time and resources than about which victims to choose in thought experiments, this book's practical results will be useful to both utilitarians and non-utilitarians alike.
