Immanuel Kant and Utilitarian Ethics

Samuel Hollander

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.

Praise for this book
