Deux essais sur l'utilitarisme, écrits de points de vue opposés, par J. J. C. Smart et Bernard Williams. Dans la première partie de l'ouvrage, le professeur Smart défend une version moderne et sophistiquée de l'utilitarisme classique ; il tente de formuler une élaboration cohérente et convaincante de la doctrine selon laquelle le bien ou le mal des actions est déterminé uniquement par leurs conséquences, et en particulier leurs conséquences sur la somme totale du bonheur humain. Dans la deuxième partie, Bernard Williams propose une critique soutenue et vigoureuse des hypothèses, des arguments et des idéaux utilitaristes. Il juge inadéquate la théorie de l'action qu'implique l'utilitarisme et affirme que ce dernier ne parvient pas à s'attaquer sérieusement aux véritables problèmes de la philosophie morale et politique, ni à donner un sens à des notions telles que l'intégrité, voire le bonheur humain lui-même. Ce livre devrait intéresser les économistes du bien-être, les politologues et les théoriciens de la décision. Traduit avec DeepL.com (version gratuite)

The Cyrenaic school of philosophy (named after its founder Aristippus' native city of Cyrene in North Africa) flourished in the fifth and fourth centuries BCE. Ugo Zilioli's book provides the first book-length introduction to the school in English. The book begins by introducing the main figures of the Cyrenaic school beginning with Aristippus and by setting them into their historical context. Once the reader is familiar with those figures and with the genealogy of the school, the book offers an overview of ancient and modern interpretations of the Cyrenaics, to provide readers with alternative accounts of the doctrines they endorsed and of the role they played in the context of ancient thought. Finally, the book offers a reconstruction of Cyrenaic philosophy and shows how the ethical side of their speculation connected with the epistemology and ontology they endorsed and that, as a result, the Cyrenaics were able to offer a quite sophisticated philosophy. Indeed, Zilioli demonstrates that they represented, in ancient philosophy, an important and original metaphysical position and alternative to the kind of realism endorsed by Plato and Aristotle.
