Description:
Adopting a view of utilitarian ethics in which motivation in the public interest takes on greater weight than is generally appreciated, this book explores the extent to which the philosophy of Immanuel Kant is consistent with this nuanced version of utilitarianism.
Review Quotes:
"Immanuel Kant and Utilitarian Ethics expertly demonstrates the complexities of the work of Kant and the utilitarians while making a sound argument for a heretofore unacknowledged connection between them, and is sure to reward repeated readings."
Mark D. White, European Journal of the History of Economic Thought
