Ideal Code Real World a Rule-Consequentialist Theory of Morality

What are the appropriate criteria for assessing a theory of morality? In this enlightening work Brad Hooker begins by answering this question. He then argues for a rule-consequentialist theory which in part asserts that acts should be assessed morally in terms of impartially justified rules. In the end he considers the implications of rule-consequentialism for several current controversies in practical ethics making this clearly written engaging book the best overall statement of this approach to ethics.
