Description

Explore the foundations of early utilitarianism and the theoretical bases of social ethics and policy in modern Western welfare states with this Routledge publication. Matti Hayry examines why utilitarianism has faced growing disrepute among moral philosophers, specifically focusing on the difficulty of applying its principles when the basic needs of individuals are in conflict. This work offers a solution to these fundamental problems. Hayry argues for a combination of a limited version of liberal utilitarianism and specific methods to address modern ethical challenges. This text is an essential resource for understanding the connection between moral philosophy and the practical application of social policy.
