Recenzii
Quong defends a powerful account of the grounds and conditions under which an agent may justifiably inflict serious harm on another person.
The Morality of Defensive Force offers a rich and challenging account of the ethics of self-defence from one of the world's leading theorists of defensive harm. Quong's lively, lucid and imaginative prose is a joy to read ... this book is surely essential reading for anyone working on the ethics of harming and related topics.
Quong's brilliant book is distinguished by its great originality and creativity ... Quong's careful and rigorous arguments are important contributions not just to our understanding of the morality of defense but also to a wide range of general issues in moral philosophy.
Jonathan Quong is one of the very best moral and political philosophers working in the world today. His distinctive and carefully developed work on self-defence has already had a profound impact on the field. His book, which draws together and develops this work, is an outstanding achievement that will have lasting significance in debates about some of the most important philosophical and practical questions that we face.
Among its many virtues, The Morality of Defensive Force offers a sustained and powerful critique of the moral responsibility account.
The Morality of Defensive Force is packed with forceful, novel arguments. It will no doubt become a cornerstone of work on the justifications and limits of defensive harm. It strikes a great balance between being accessible to those who want to pick it up for a particular topic—for example, those interested only in the necessity condition, the bearing of evidence on rights, or the means principle—and at the same time being a rewarding, well-integrated read.
