This book argues that critics of consequentialism have not been
able to make a successful and comprehensive case against all
versions of consequentialism because they have been using the wrong
methodology. This methodology relies on the crucial assumption that
consequentialist theories share a defining characteristic. This
text interprets consequentialism, instead, as a family resemblance
term. On that basis, it argues quite an ambitions claim, viz. that
all versions of consequentialism should be rejected, including
those that have been created in response to conventional
criticisms. The book covers a number of classic themes in normative
ethics, metaethics and, particularly, ethical methodology and also
touches upon certain aspects of experimental moral philosophy. It
is written in clear language and is analytic in its argumentative
style. As such, the book should appeal to students, graduate
students as well as professional academics with an interest in
analytic moral philosophy.
