new book on double effect
I wanted to mention a new book on double effect. The book is Double-Effect Reasoning: Doing Good and Avoiding Evil by Thomas A. Cavanaugh. It is available in the UK and is scheduled to be published in the US very soon by Oxford University Press. Tom Cavanaugh is the chair of the philosophy department at the University of San Francisco and has written several noteworthy articles on this issue. I haven't yet read the book but I expect that it will make an important contribution to the discussion of double effect.
