The traditional form of consequentialism is one-dimensional, in that the rightness of an act is a function of a single moral aspect, such as the sum total of wellbeing it produces. In this book Martin Peterson introduces a new type of consequentialist theory: multidimensional consequentialism. According to this theory, an act's moral rightness depends on several separate dimensions, including individual wellbeing, equality and risk. Peterson's novel approach shows that moral views about equality and risk that were previously thought to be mutually incompatible can be rendered compatible, and his precise theoretical discussion helps the reader to understand better the distinction between consequentialist and non-consequentialist theories. His book will interest a wide range of readers in ethics"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000887995 650_0 $$aConsequentialism (Ethics) 000887995 852__ $$bebk 000887995 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete $$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1099954$$zOnline Access 000887995 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:887995$$pGLOBAL_SET 000887995 980__ $$aEBOOK 000887995 980__ $$aBIB 000887995 982__ $$aEbook 000887995 983__ $$aOnline
