The Doctrine of Double Effect, the by P A Woodward

This anthology of philosophical essays provides an introduction to the Doctrine of Double Effect. A number of important philosophers and intellectual perspectives are represented in what constitutes a debate over the doctrine and the various concerns it raises.

“The Doctrine of Double Effect provides a rich range of examples of the doctrine’s continued appeal among contemporary Anglo-American analytic moral philosophers. . the book is an important and significant collection of essays on the principle of double effect and is appropriate for use in advanced undergraduate classes in moral theory, as well as graduate classes either in moral theory or on issues of warfare and biomedical ethics.” —The Thomist

“This is philosophical ethics at a very high level in very spirited exchange.... Intellectually rigorous and intense.”—First Things

“This volume is the first and the only devoted to the topic...This fine volume serves as an excellent resource for the fascinating debate concerning double effect. For this service, Woodward deserves the gratitude of the philosophical community.” —Philosophical Quarterly

“The book provides an excellent introduction to the contemporary understanding of the PDE and will be helpful to teachers, students, clinicians, and bioethicists seeking an exposure to the diversity of contemporary theoretical opinion on the principle.”—The National Catholic Bioethics Quarterly
