Contents Restorations and repairs that leave utility and the calculus in place -- A renovation that, accommodating utility still, replaces the calculus with the census-notion -- A renovation that makes provision for needs prior to concern with utility.
Summary "In Utilitarianism: Restorations; Repairs; Renovations, noted Canadian philosopher David Braybrooke revisits Jeremy Bentham's master idea that statistical evidence should determine social policies, and - perhaps surprisingly, given Braybooke's recent championship of natural law - dispels the discredit that standard versions of utilitarianism have invited."--Jacket.
