F. M. Kamm - Intricate Ethics: Rights, Responsibilities, And Permissible Harm (Oxford Ethics Series)

Description

In Intricate Ethics, Kamm questions the moral importance of some non-consequentialist distinctions and then introduces and argues for the moral importance of other distinctions. The first section discusses nonconsequentialist ethical theory and the trolley problem; the second deals with the notions of moral status and rights; the third takes up the issues of responsibility and complicity and the possible moral significance of distance; and the fourth section analyzes the views of others in the non-consequentialist and consequentialist camps.

Reviews

“

[Kamm] is the most sophisticated of the contemporary exponents of "intuitionist" or "non-consequentalist" ethics... No one makes such extraordinarily meticulous and penetrating attempts to extract the principles behind our ordinary moral intuitions... I highly recomment it as an inclusive and subtle attempt to work out non-consequentialism on an intuitionist basis. -- Ingmar Persson, Times Literary Supplement In the end, professional moral philosophers cannot reasonably ignore Intricate Ethics...Kamm continues to prove herself the most imaginative, detail-oriented deontologist writing in English today...Professor Kamm is in a class by herself. -- Jeffrey Brand-Ballard, Notre Dame Philosophical Review.
