This paper generalizes the classical discounted utility model introduced by Samuelson by replacing a constant discount rate with a function. The existence of recursive utilities and their constructions are based on Matkowski's extension of the Banach Contraction Principle. The derived utilities go beyond the class of recursive utilities studied in the literature and enable a discussion on subtle issues concerning time preferences in the theory of finance, economics or psychology. Moreover, our main results are applied to the theory of optimal growth with unbounded utility functions
