More about the book

The analysis focuses on common sense morality, specifically examining the act-omission doctrine and the doctrine of double effect. Persson connects these doctrines to a theory of rights and a conception of responsibility grounded in causation. He offers an innovative perspective on what constitutes a reason for action, providing a fresh understanding of moral reasoning and ethical responsibility.
