<p><b>Brad Hooker</b> is a professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Reading, UK. He has been most closely associated with discussions of rule-consequentialism, although he has published papers on a wide variety of topics in ethical theory, including the idea that moral principles must be suitable for public acceptance. He is the author of <i>Ideal Code, Real World: A Rule-Consequentialist Theory of Morality</i> (2000) and the editor of <i>Rationality, Rules, and Utility</i> (1993), and <i>Truth in Ethics</i> (1997). Professor Hooker is an associate editor of <i>Ratio</i> and the editor-in-chief of <i>Utilitas</i>.</p>
<p><i>Developing Deontology</i> is a collection of six essays in ethical theory by some of the foremost moral philosophers of today. Within the collection, Michael Smith, Philip Stratton-Lake, Ralph Wedgwood, David Owens, Peter Vallentyne and Elizabeth Harman contribute new essays, which not only reflect on concepts that have been prominent in the development of deontological approaches but also offer an invaluable contribution to that development. These include agent-relativity, pluralism about the foundational principles of morality, double effect, consent, moral rights, and responsibility and blame for one’s actions and moral beliefs. The contributions to this book expand the boundaries of thought relating to deontology. Together, they provide a major addition to the field of moral philosophy for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and academics.</p>
