Recenzii
A passionate and engaging critique of consequentialism, offering a credible alternative. By putting motivations centre stage Coakley opens up exciting new avenues in moral and political philosophy.
The scope and ambitions of this book are tremendous. It moves from foundational claims in normative ethics to a revisionist theory of political legitimacy, develops in the process a new approach for making interpersonal comparisons of welfare, and showcases a parsimonious ethical methodology anchored in the idea of non-arbitrariness. It will be of interest to a wide range of readers in philosophy, political theory, law, economics, political science and related fields.
This is a book of stunning breadth and ambition. It defends a novel moral theory that differs from existing ones in fundamental ways and proposes an original method for conducting ethical reasoning. Coakley also offers new perspectives on classical problems such as interpersonal comparisons of utility and political legitimacy. The book will appeal to all those interested in new ways of thinking whether in philosophy, political and legal theory or the social sciences more broadly.
