"Though much excellent work has been done on understanding utilitarianism itself, and on both the attractions of and problems with it, the fundamental debate remains as intractable as ever. The state-of-the-art essays that follow bring out clearly how much progress has been made since... the early utilitarians, as well how careful and imaginative reflection can take us yet further in understanding the issues at stake and possible resolutions of them."- Roger Crisp, from the Foreword
