About the book >.>.> In Ideal Code, Real World: A Rule-Consequentialist Theory of Morality, Brad Hooker explores the criteria for assessing moral theories and advocates for a rule-consequentialist framework. This theory posits that moral assessments of actions should be based on rules that are impartially justified. According to Hooker, a rule is deemed impartially justified if the expected overall value of its general internalization is at least equal to that of any alternative rules.Throughout the book, Hooker elaborates on key concepts such as impartiality, well-being, fairness, and equality, examining how these relate to the interpretation of ?general internalization? within rule-consequentialism. He addresses significant objections to this moral framework, providing a thorough analysis of potential weaknesses and counterarguments. Additionally, Hooker engages with various competing moral theories, including social contract theory and act-consequentialism, delineating which moral prohibitions and duties to assist others are supported by rule-consequentialism.In the final chapters, he explores the implications of rule-consequentialism for ongoing ethical debates, situating the theory within contemporary discussions in practical ethics. By scrutinising the ramifications of rule-consequentialism, Hooker offers a comprehensive perspective on how this ethical approach can inform and shape moral decision-making in real-world contexts. This book serves as an essential contribution to moral philosophy, particularly for those interested in the intersections of ethical theory and practical application. (LL).…
