Goodness and Justice

Meer over het boek

Focusing on moral philosophy, Joseph Mendola presents a unified theory that revitalizes classical utilitarianism through two significant modifications. His approach introduces a new form of consequentialism, emphasizing the importance of performing the most beneficent role in group actions. Additionally, the theory prioritizes overall value based on distribution, placing the greatest importance on the well-being of the worst-off individuals among sentient beings, thereby addressing common challenges faced by traditional utilitarianism.
