Reviews

[Kamm] is the most sophisticated of the contemporary exponents of "intuitionist" or "non-consequentalist" ethics... No one makes such extraordinarily meticulous and penetrating attempts to extract the principles behind our ordinary moral intuitions... I highly recomment it as an inclusive and subtle attempt to work out non-consequentialism on an intuitionist basis. Ingmar Persson, Times Literary Supplement 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 Review.
