Torbjorn Tannsjo examines three theories on the ethics of killing in this book: deontology, a libertarian moral rights theory and utilitarianism. The implications of each theory are worked out for different kinds of killing: trolley-cases, murder, capital punishment, suicide, assisted death, abortion, killing in war, and the killing of animals. These implications are confronted with our intuitions in relation to them, and our moral intuitions are examined in turn. Only those intuitions that survive an understanding of how we have come to hold them are seen as ‘considered’ intuitions. Hie idea is that the theory that can best explain the content of our considered intuitions gains inductive support from them. We must transcend our narrow cultural horizons and avoid certain cognitive mistakes in order to hold considered intuitions. Tannsjo argues that in the final analysis utilitarianism can best account for, and explain, our considered intuitions about all these kinds of killing.
“In this splendidly engaging book,Torbjorn Tannsjo surveys a range of moral problems of killing—such as capital punishment, euthanasia, abortion, war, and the killing of animals—through the lenses of three moral theories: deontology rights theory and utilitarianism. His main aim is to find the true theory by testing the three candidates’implications against considered intuitions about the problems (and a provisional winner does emerge). But he also aims to reach the truth about the problems. These are ambitious aims but Tannsjo makes impressive progress, which the reader can follow without difficulty, as the writing is lucid and accessible throughout."
