Meer over het boek
The book explores the historical development of consequentialism, revealing its theological roots rather than presenting it as a purely rational and secular ethic. Ryan Darr traces its emergence in the mid-seventeenth century, highlighting how it was shaped by a consequentialist Creator, and discusses its decline in the early eighteenth century due to challenges posed by the problem of evil. Concluding with contemporary implications, the author advocates for a re-evaluation of teleological ethics in light of these historical insights.
