Recenzii
'Peterson provides a much needed clarification of what gradualism is, and makes a powerful case both that it is a decisive advance over alternatives, and that ethicists working within a broadly consequentialist framework are driven to it. He makes the case, moreover, that the ability of consequentialist theories – in particular his preferred version – to accommodate gradualism amounts to a real advantage of such theories over alternatives that eschew it. An important contribution to core debates in normative ethics and beyond. Paul Hurley, Claremont McKenna College

Descriere
This first book-length discussion of the 'gray area' in ethics challenges the assumption that rightness and wrongness are binary properties.
