Intricate Ethics : Rights, Responsibilities, and Permissable Harm
F.M. Kamm is one of the leading theorists working in philosophy today. In Intricate Ethics, Kamm makes a significant contribution to normative ethical theory by showing how fine distinctions can be important. The first section provides a general introduction to non-consequentialist ethical theory; the second deals with the notions of moral status and rights; the third takes up the notions of responsibility and complicity; and the fourth section analyzes the views of others in the non-consequentialist and consequentialist camps
