[NT 15000229]:	It is typically thought that the demandingness problem is specifically a problem for consequentialists because of the gradable nature of consequentialist theories, and that it is an advantage of nonconsequential theories that they are not gradable in the same way. In contrast, Shades of Goodness argues that most moral theories have a gradable structure, and more significantly that this is an advantage for those theories. The few theories that do avoid gradability have bigger problems of their own and should be rejected. As well as act-consequentialist theories, Shades of Goodness also considers the structure of Ross's moral pluralism, Dancy's particularism, Hooker's rule consequentialism, Scanlon'scontractualism, Finnis's natural law theory, Kant's categorical imperative and the golden rule. Shades of Goodness is aimed at readers interested in moral theories, and particularly those wishing to construct or defend a moral theory.
