Progressive Consequentialism - Reflections on the Imperfect Moral Obligations of Imperfect Agents Living in an Imperfect World

This rigorous work critically examines the progressive consequentialist imperative to leave the world in better shape than they found it. Exploring moral theory and practical ethics, the book makes an important contribution to the rapidly expanding study of less demanding forms of consequentialism that do not require optimally good outcomes.
