@lastpositivist Who do you think is doing the best work in consequentialist and/or utilitarian moral philosophy these days?

I haven’t really thought about it as a comparative exercise! I know that Neil Sinhababu is a utilitarian and has a paper on it and maybe it’s touched upon in his recent book so maybe start here - https://philpapers.org/profile/259 - but more strongly I feel that I’m the wrong person to ask!

I see. How do you feel about Railton? He's probably my favorite living moral philosopher.

I like him, but know him more for Marxist philosophy of science than his defence of moral realism.

Interesting, I'm actually rather unacquainted with his philsci work. Worth checking out?

Yeah definitely he’s an interesting bloke! Don’t always agree, but there’s a real advantage to having people around with unusual combinations of knowledge bases.
