Description
The author's moral evaluation of torture sharply differs from the rest of the literature. The evaluation focuses on the nonconsequentialist approach to morality, that is, it assumes that what makes an action right is not solely whether it brings about the best results. Using the central feature of nonconsequentialism - moral rights - Kershnar argues that torture is justified in a number of theoretical contexts, including defense, punishment, and when the person to be tortured consents. He then looks at the world and argues that it is plausible to think there are actual cases in which torture is justified. -- Back Cover.
