Consequentialism is a focal point of discussion and a driving force
behind important developments in moral philosophy. Recently, the
debate has shifted in focus and in style. By seeking to
consequentialize rival moral theories, in particular those with
agent-relative characteristics, and by framing accounts in terms of
reasons rather than in terms of value, an emerging new wave
consequentialism has presented - at much higher levels of
abstraction - theories which proved extremely flexible and powerful
in meeting long-standing and influential objections. This volume of
new essays on new wave consequentialism initiates and stimulates
novel lines of discussions among proponents and their critics. The
contributions explore new directions in new wave consequentialism
and present refined conceptual frameworks (in Part I), raise
challenging fundamental problems for these frameworks and the new
wave's theoretical basis (in Part II), and give a balanced
assessment of the new wave's limits and achievements in specific
contexts of commonsense moral practice (in Part III). The volume
will be of interest to all readers in ethical and moral theory.
