About Preference And Information (Ashgate New Critical Thinking in Philosophy

Is it important for quality of life that the preferences we satisfy are rational and well-informed? Standard preferentialist theories allege that a person's preferences and their satisfaction are the correct measure of well-being. In preference-sensitive theories preferences are important but do not count for everything. This raises the question of whether we ought to make demands on these preferences. In this book, Egonsson presents a critical analysis of the 'full-information account of the good', which claims that only the satisfaction of rational and fully informed preferences has value for a person. The problems he deals with include: How is an information requirement to be formulated and shaped? Is it possible to design a requirement that is neutral to the agent's epistemic situation? Is the requirement reasonable? Does it make sense to claim that a person is better off if we satisfy the preferences she would have had in some merely hypothetical circumstances? This is an important new book on preference rationality which will be of great interest to academics and students of ethics, quality of life and rationality.
