Books by F. M. (Professor of Philosophy Kamm

Questions the moral importance of some non-consequentialist distinctions, and then introduces and argues for the moral importance of other distinctions. This book provides an introduction to non-consequentialist ethical theory followed by a discussion of distinctions relevant to instrumental rationality and to the famous "Trolley Problem".

Why is death bad for us, even on the assumption that it involves the absence of experience? Whom should we save from death if we cannot save everyone? Kamm considers these questions, critically examining some answers other philosophers have given.

This volume continues the examination of issues of life and death which F.M. Kamm began in 'Morality, Mortality,' Volume I (1993). Kamm continues her development of a non-consequentialist ethical theory and its application to practical ethical problems.
