Opting for the Best - Douglas W. (Professor of Philosophy Portmore - Bog

When making decisions, we ought to choose the option that is best in terms of what ultimately matters. However, knowing what ultimately matters is not always enough when it comes to knowing what we ought to do. In Opting for the Best, Douglas Portmore examines the questions that remain after we have determined what matters. In doing so, he engages with some of the most complex puzzles concerning what we ought to do, including those involving supererogation,indeterminate or overdetermined outcomes, predictable future misbehavior, among others.
