Weighing Lives
Broome, John (, White's Professor of Moral Philosophy, University of Oxford)
How should we weigh lives? This book develops a theoretical basis for answering this practical question. It examines many of the issues of contemporary moral theory: the nature of consequentialism and teleology; the transitivity, continuity, and vagueness of betterness; the quantitative conception of wellbeing; and others.
