Description
This rigorous yet accessible work revisits Henry Sidgwick’s enduring ethical vision and its challenge to view morality from an impartial, universal standpoint. Katarzyna de Lazari-Radek and Peter Singer defend ethical objectivism and hedonistic utilitarianism, examining whether reason can show us how to live and why the well-being of all sentient beings should count equally. Engaging critically with influential contemporary positions in ethics, they explore questions of happiness, impartiality, demandingness, and the foundations of moral judgment. The result is a significant contribution to modern moral philosophy and a compelling case for taking the point of view of the universe seriously.
