This book presents an exploration of the idea of the common or
social good, extended so that alternatives with different
populations can be ranked. The approach is, in the main, welfarist,
basing rankings on the well-being, broadly conceived, of those who
are alive (or ever lived). The axiomatic method is employed, and
topics investigated include: the measurement of individual
well-being, social attitudes toward inequality of well-being, the
main classes of population principles, principles that provide
incomplete rankings, principles that rank uncertain alternatives,
best choices from feasible sets, and applications. The chapters are
divided, with mathematical arguments confined to the second part.
The first part is intended to make the arguments accessible to a
more general readership. Although the book can be read as a defense
of the critical-level generalized-utilitarian class of principles,
comprehensive examinations of other classes are included.
