The Ethics of Managed Care
The Ethics of Managed CareA Pragmatic Approach Mary R. Anderlik A breakthrough reappraisal of the managed healthcare debate. Discussions of managed care frequently begin and end with an opposition between the Hippocratic ethic of dedication to patient welfare and a business ethic of self-interest in the service of efficiency. Mary R. Anderlik approaches managed care as a problem of organizations. Rejecting a simple "medicine vs. business" analysis, she directs attention to management as manipulation, the neglect of such personal goods as satisfaction in professional accomplishment, and organizational moral myopia. In this account, "pragmatic" suggests practical idealism, not the jettisoning ...
Ethics for Enemies
Ethics for Enemies comprises three original essays on highly contentious issues in practical moral philosophy. F. M. Kamm presents powerful arguments about the concept and morality of torture; what makes terrorism wrong and whether it is always wrong; and whether the right motivation and the proportionality of harms to good can make war just.
Human Dignity and Social Justice
Human dignity: social movements invoke it, several national constitutions enshrine it, and it features prominently in international human rights documents. But what is it and why is it important? Pablo Gilabert offers a systematic defense of the view that human dignity is the moral heart of justice.
Wrongs and Rights Come Apart
A bold challenge to a central assumption in modern moral and legal thinking, showing that wrongs and rights are not flip sides of the same coin but instead represent fundamentally distinct moral phenomena. It is commonplace to regard rights and wrongs as mirror images of each other: to be wronged, we think, is to have one’s rights violated. According to this familiar picture of the moral landscape, there is an inescapable relationship between our claims on others and our complaints against them. Indeed, if to have a right means just that one can reasonably claim redress for being wronged, then there is really nothing separating wrongs and rights. Legal scholar and philosopher Nicolas Corne...
Oxford Studies in Normative Ethics
In this volume, leading philosophers advance our understanding of a wide range of moral issues and positions, from analysis of competing normative theories to questions of how we should act and live well.
Rights and Their Limits
In this volume, noted moral philosopher F.M. Kamm explores how rights and their limits are recognized in theories and in judgments about hypothetical and practical cases. The author begins by considering moral status and its relation to rights and duties and next, investigates the extent of the right not to be harmed by considering the costs morally required to avoid harming and offering a proposal for permissibly harming someone (that allows for resisting the harm) in the Trolley Problem. Kamm further considers the relevance of the Trolley Problem for issues in applied ethics such as self-driving cars. The book concludes with an exploration of the significance of the right not to be harmed in a pandemic, and for a morally correct policy on torture.
Intricate Ethics
"Reading F.M. Kamm's latest book is like watching a brilliant astronomer map an uncharted galaxy--the meticulousness and the display of mental stamina must inspire awe. There is a kind of beauty in the performance alone. Intricate Ethics is a major event in normative ethical theory by a living master of the subject.... 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 Reviews "The operative word in this masterful work is 'intricate.' Watching Kamm's mind...
