Intricate Ethics:
Rights, Responsibilities, and Permissible Harm.
Oxford
University Press,
2007.
Frances Kamm,
Liittauer Professor
of Philosophy and Public Policy, John F. Kennedy School of
Government, and Professor of Philosophy, Department of
Philosophy, Harvard University.
"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"
