Ideal Code, Real World : A Rule-Consequentialist Theory of Morality, Paperback by Hooker, Brad, ISBN 0199256578, ISBN-13 9780199256570, Brand New, Free P&P in the UK 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.
