Isi artikel

In a series of article on population theory, culminating in his 1984 book Reasons and Persons, Derek Parfit presented dilemmas for utilitarian and consequentialist moral theories. Parfit's work has led to renewed interest in the theory of optimal population. More generally, Parfit is searching for a general theory of beneficence- "Theory X"-that also will cover population comparisons. Theory X corresponds to Kenneth Arrow's notion of a socil welfare function-both attemp to provide a generic formula or algorithm for ranking social outcomes on the basis of their characteristics.
