Inclusive Ethics: Extending Beneficence and Egalitarian Justice

Autor Ingmar Persson
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 feb 2017
Inclusive Ethics begins from two ideas which are part of our everyday morality, namely that we have a moral reason to benefit or do good to other beings, and that justice requires these benefits to be distributed equally. A morality comprising these two general principles will be exceedingly hard to apply as these principles will have to be balanced against each in an intuitive fashion, but also because the notion of what benefits beings is quite complex, comprising both experiential components of pleasure and successful exercises of autonomy.Ingmar Persson argues that, on philosophical reflection, these ideas turn out to be more far-reaching than we imagine. In particular, the reason to benefit commits us to benefit beings by bringing them into existence. Further, since grounds that are commonly used to justify that some are better off than others - such as their being more deserving or having rights to more - are untenable, justice requires a more extensive equality. The book concludes by reflecting on the problems of getting people to accept a morality which differs markedly from the morality with which they have grown up.

Recenzii

This is a tightly argued and challenging book. It is deserving of our study and of our responses. The wide range of topics it covers and the systematic way they are covered qualify it as an achievement. And it challenges many of our moral beliefs. Persson is quite comfortable standing outside what people commonly believe about morality, which will provide the reader with a number of surprises. The comprehensive systematic approach is one I strongly favor.
