It is presented as a viable alternative in the search for a moral theory and the claim is defended that we need such a theory. The book offers a distinctive approach and some quite controversial conclusions. Torbjörn Tännsjö challenges the assumption that hedonistic utilitarianism is at variance with common sense morality particularly as viewed through the perspective of the modern feminist moral critique.About the AuthorTorbjörn Tännsjö is Kristian Claëson Professor of Practical Philosophy at Stockholm University.More books by Torbjorn Tannsjo."
