Popular culture is replete with references to this intriguing but profoundly ambiguous injunction. Philosophers, however, have had surprisingly little to say about either the meaning, the merits, and the practical implications of this neglected moral claim. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book fills this glaring gap in the literature. Progressive Consequentialism is, first and foremost, a work in moral theory with an aim to carefully disambiguate the progressive constraint and to rigorously explore the semantic content and the normative implications of some of its most promising variants.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMark Vorobej is former associate professor in the department of philosophy and former director of the Centre for Peace Studies at McMaster University.
