Beschreibung:
Whitley R. P. Kaufman is associate professor of philosophy at the University of Massachusetts at Lowell.
In Justified Killing, Whitley R. P. Kaufman argues that none of the leading theories adequately explains why it is permissible even to kill an innocent attacker in self-defense, given the basic moral prohibition against killing the innocent. Kaufman suggests that such an explanation can be found in the traditional Doctrine of Double Effect, according to which self-defense is justified because the intention of the defender is to protect himself rather than harm the attacker.
Chapter 1 Chapter One: Introduction Chapter 2 Chapter Two: The Principles of Self-Defense Chapter 3 Chapter Three: The Leading Theories of Self-Defense Chapter 4 Chapter Four: The Doctrine of Double Effect Chapter 5 Chapter Five: Double Effect and Common Sense Morality Chapter 6 Chapter Six: Can Double Effect Justify Self-Defense? Chapter 7 Chapter Seven: Conclusion: Justifying Self-Defense
