- This 104,000-word monograph is the product of 7 years of conceptual research and writing on reasons and moral rights, spanning moral and political philosophy. The book presents a defence of the utilitarian tradition, by aiming to formulate a new version of utilitarianism, underpinned by new accounts of reasons and moral rights. Much of the research involves demonstrations of how the new theory overcomes a wide range of objections to traditional utilitarian theory, including how it can respect an individual’s moral rights.
