Liberal Utilitarianism and Applied Ethics explores the foundations
of early utilitarianism and, at the same time, the theoretical
bases of social ethics and policy in modern Western welfare states.
Matti Hayry sees the main reason for utilitarianism's growing
disrepute among moral philosophers is that its principles cannot
legitimately be extended to situations where the basic needs of the
individuals involved are in conflict. He is able to formulate a
solution to this fundamental problem by arguing convincingly that
by combining a limited version of liberal utilitarianism and the
methods of applied ethics, we are able to define our moral duties
and rights. Liberal Utilitarianism and Applied Ethics will appeal
to students and teachers of philosophy who are interested in the
doctrine of utilitarianism or in ethical decison-making.
