Purchase options and add-ons

It is possible for an act to wrongfully harm a person, even if the act takes place after the person is dead. David Boonin defends this view in Dead Wrong and explains the puzzle of posthumous harm. In doing so, he makes three central claims. First, that it is possible for an act to wrongfully harm a person while they are alive even if the act has no effect on that person's conscious experiences. Second, that if this is so, then frustrating a person's desires is one way to wrongfully harm a person. And third, that it is possible for an act to wrongfully harm a person even if the act takes place after the person is dead. Over the course of the book, Boonin introduces the significance of posthumous harm, deals with each of his three main claims in turn, responds to the objections that might be raised against the book's thesis, and examines some of the ethical implications for issues such as posthumous organ and gamete removal, posthumous publication of private documents, damage to graves and corpses, and posthumous punishment and restitution.

Product description

Review

"Denying that Dead Wrong is a highly stimulating book would be dead wrong." -- Jens Johansson, Uppsala University, Bioethics

"This is a fantastic book. It argues convincingly for a deeply significant thesis in ethics and the study of human value. I urge all moral philosophers to take Boonin's work very seriously." -- Dale Dorsey, The University of Kansas

"David Boonin's Dead Wrong: The Ethics of Posthumous Harm is a fantastic contribution to the consistently bourgeoning, and increasingly important, philosophy of death literature." -- The Journal of Value Inquiry
