About this product

Product Information

Ethics for Enemies comprises three original philosophical essays on torture, terrorism, and war. F. M. Kamm deploys ethical theory in her challenging new treatments of these most controversial practical issues. First she considers the nature of torture and the various occasions on which it could occur, in order to determine why it might be wrong to torture a wrongdoer held captive, even if this were necessary to save his victims. In the second essay she considers what makes terrorism wrong--whether it is the intention to harm civilians, rather than harm to them being 'collateral damage,' or something else--and whether terrorism is always wrong. The third essay discusses whether having a right reason, in the sense of a right intention, is necessary in order for a war to be just. Kamm then examines ways in which the harms of war can be proportional to the achievement of the just cause and other goods that war can bring about, so as to make the declaration of war permissible.

Reviews
"As I said, this has been a very limited of survey of these two books, which cover a wide range of topics and are extremely dense with argument... these questions are of great interest and importance. In all, there is an enormous amount for anyone interested the morality of conflict, or ethics generally, to learn from reading and thinking about these excellent books. They represent the cutting edge of work in applied ethics and moral theory." --Mind, 'powerful, indeed dazzling, display of philosophical imagination ... It is impossible in a review adequately to summarize and begin to assess the rich detail of these essays.'Joseph Boyle, Ethics'a meticulous, imaginative and often provocative contribution to the ethics of violence ... a highly important contribution to the literature by a seminal philosopher.'Christopher Finlay, International Affairs, "displays the impressive conceptual sophistication, argumentative rigor and use of imaginary examples characteristic of Kamm's philosophical work." --Seumas Miller, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews, "a meticulous, imaginative and often provocative contribution to the ethics of violence ... a highly important contribution to the literature by a seminal philosopher." --Christopher Finlay, International Affairs, "powerful, indeed dazzling, display of philosophical imagination ... It is impossible in a review adequately to summarize and begin to assess the rich detail of these essays." --Joseph Boyle, Ethics

This quilt is historic and thousands have reproduced it or attempted to reproduce it. It is a treasure and the book is essential to make each of the 169 blocks in the center along with the triangle edging. This is not a quick or easy quilt but one you work a little at a time. It arrived as new and will be one of the highlights of my home creative library.
