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.
