Moral Demands in Nonideal Theory

"Is there a limit to the legitimate demands of morality? In particular, is there a limit to people's responsibility to promote the well-being of others, either directly or via social institutions? Utilitarianism admits no such limit and is for that reason often said to be an unacceptably demanding moral and political view. In this original new study, Liam Murphy argues ingeniously that the charge of excessive demands turns out to be little more than an affirmation of the moral and political status quo."--Jacket.
