Ideal Code, Real World: A Rule-Consequentialist Theory of Morality
Hooker, Brad (, Professor of Philosophy, University of Reading)
According to rule-consequentialism, acts are to be assessed in terms of rules and rules are to be assessed by their consequences. Hooker establishes criteria for assessing a theory of morality and then sets out his rule-consequentialism, discusses criticisms and rival theories and considers implications of the theory for practical issues.
