-
(Cambridge University Press. Cambridge, UK, 2008-09-01)G. E. Moore raised the question of whether consequentialists ought to maximize actual rather than expected value, and came down in favour of the former alternative. But rather recently Frank Jackson has presented an example ...
-
(Cambridge University Press. Cambridge, UK, 2010-03-01)Wayne Sumner, in the first six chapters of his excellent book Welfare, Happiness and Ethics, argues for what he calls an authentic life satisfaction theory of welfare. Somewhat generally, Sumner's theory of welfare is a ...
-
(Cambridge University Press. Cambridge, UK, 2011-08-01)Unrejectability is the property shared by things no one could reasonably reject. Following the lead of T. M. Scanlon, modern contractualists hold Principle Contractualism: An act is obligatory when conformity to unrejectable ...

(Cambridge University Press. Cambridge, UK, 2003-07-01)Ronald Dworkin argues on the basis of a theory of well-being that critical paternalism is self-defeating. People must endorse their lives if they are to benefit. This is the endorsement constraint and this paper rejects ...
