This is a book about moral reasoning: how we actually reason and how we ought to reason. It defends a form of 'rule' utilitarianism whereby we must sometimes judge and act in moral questions in accordance with generally accepted rules. The author opposes the currently more fashionable view that it is always right for the individual to do that which produces the most good.
