Description

Morals By Agreement presents a groundbreaking exploration of moral philosophy through the lens of rational choice theory. The author argues that moral principles are fundamentally principles of rational choice, challenging conventional views of how rational persons make decisions. The book demonstrates how individual utility maximisation often leads to collective disadvantage, proposing instead a cooperative framework based on agreed principles. Through this innovative approach, the work reconciles rational self-interest with mutual benefit and fairness, offering readers a rigorous philosophical foundation for understanding how moral agreements emerge from rational deliberation. This Oxford University Press publication provides essential reading for students and scholars of Western philosophy, political theory, and ethical thought.
