Reader reviews for Ideal Code, Real World: A Rule-Consequentialist Theory of Morality

From the publisher

What are the appropriate criteria for assessing a theory of morality? In this enlightening work, Brad Hooker begins by answering this question. He then argues for a rule-consequentialist theory which, in part, asserts that acts should be assessed morally in terms of impartially justified rules. In the end, he considers the implications of rule-consequentialism for several current controversies in practical ethics, making this clearly written, engaging book the best overall statement of this approach to ethics.

First line

Shouldn't we try to live by the moral code whose communal acceptance would, as far as we can tell, have the best consequences?
