论文部分内容阅读
本书收集了一些对功利主义的研究,既考虑作为个人道德理论的功利主义,也考虑了作为公共选择理论的功利主义。除了两篇论文以外,其他都是专为本书所作。它们不仅广泛体现了对于功利主义的各种支持和批评意见,也是对这个非常活跃的领域内最有趣和最有影响工作的一次精心甄选。本书对于哲学家、经济学家和社会理论家或许都有启发,并具备重要的学术参考价值。
This book collects a few studies of utilitarianism, not only considering utilitarianism as a theory of personal morality, but also utilitarianism as a theory of public choice. Except for two essays, all others are written for this book. Not only do they embody a wide range of support and criticisms of utilitarianism, but they are also a careful selection of the most interesting and influential work in this very active field. This book may be inspired by philosophers, economists and social theorists, and have important academic reference value.
