Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a comprehensive statement in defense of the doctrine known as classical, hedonistic, utilitarianism. It is presented as a viable alternative in the search for a moral theory and the claim is defended that we need such a theory. Torbjörn Tännsjö challenges the assumption that hedonistic utilitarianism is at variance with common sense morality particularly as viewed through the perspective of the modern feminist moral critique.
