According to its critics, it ignores the separateness of persons, cannot secure the protections of basic rights, demands extreme sacrifice, can justify anything – the list goes on. It has been implicated in the horrors of settler colonialism, imperialism, and racial capitalism, both historically and today, as the neoliberal world order faces a profound legitimation crisis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBart Schultz argues that utilitarian philosophy must be decolonized and reimagined for the current moment: a time of new and looming existential threats, in a world desperate for social change. Where dominant ethical and political approaches have failed to adequately deal with the enormous challenges we face, utilitarianism – as a set of lived practices, not simply a theoretical construction – may hold out some hope of seriously addressing them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on alternatives to the well-known Eurocentric story of utilitarianism (and an extensive review and critique of that story) and incorporating the works of Peter Singer, Katarzyna de Lazari-Radek, Derek Parfit, Martha Nussbaum, and other major philosophers, Schultz crafts a groundbreaking new framework of utilitarianism born of struggle and resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eUtilitarianism as a Way of Life\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential text for scholars and students of philosophy, political science, economics, decolonization studies, gender studies, psychology, environmental studies, and related fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000835916012,"sku":"9781509552276","price":42.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/76b8d1e03b33aaebafbfcfe3db207a7f_6789eba6-9626-4142-bafa-60698e9cd886.jpg?v=1763323058"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/bart-schultz.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
