Description
The Trolley Problem Mysteries by F. M. Kamm provides a rigorous treatment of one of philosophy's most notorious thought experiments. The trolley problem, which challenges us to explain and justify our different intuitive judgments about harming some to help others, has spawned a huge literature. This book presents the author's views on this moral conundrum, focusing on two prominent issues: whether who turns the trolley and how harm is shifted affects its moral permissibility. Kamm responds to comments from distinguished philosophers, providing an exceptionally rich elaboration and defense of her proposals. An invaluable resource for anyone concerned about how we ought to act when we can lessen harm to some by harming others.
