'What would happen if everyone acted that way?' This question is
often used in everyday moral assessments, but it has a paradoxical
quality: it draws not only on Kantian ideas of a universal moral
law but also on consequentialist claims that what is right depends
on the outcome. In this book, Alex Tuckness examines how the
question came to be seen as paradoxical, tracing its history from
the theistic approaches of the seventeenth century to the secular
accounts of the present. Tuckness shows that the earlier
interpretations were hybrid theories that included both
consequentialist and non-consequentialist elements, and argues that
contemporary uses of this approach will likewise need to combine
consequentialist and non-consequentialist commitments.
