Description

Explore the deep connections between early utilitarianism and the theoretical foundations of social ethics and policy within modern Western welfare states. In Liberal Utilitarianism and Applied Ethics, Matti Hayry examines why utilitarianism has faced criticism among moral philosophers. He addresses the core issue: the difficulty of applying utilitarian principles when the basic needs of different individuals are in conflict. This work provides a clear path forward by proposing a solution to this fundamental dilemma. By combining a limited version of liberal utilitarianism with ethical frameworks, Hayry offers a way to navigate complex social policy challenges. This book is an essential resource for those studying the intersection of philosophy, social ethics, and the practical application of moral theory in contemporary society.
