Just as it says: the comments of a philosopher on the high and the low; world events, phenomena encountered and, occasionally, the esoteric happenings of academia.

The Price of Precaution and the Ethics of Risk
For once, I'll post some self-promotion here. After quite an intense week of work, I today sent off the final manuscript for my forthcoming book, The Price of Precaution and the Ethics of Risk, due to be published by Springer, in its International Library of Ethics, Law and Technology series, later this year. This is a partial explanation why you haven't seen any substantial posts here for a while, and I'm sorry to say that this will continue for a while, since I now move on to revising the manuscript to mine and Niklas Juth's forthcoming book on the ethics of screening in health care and medicine. But I hope to able to post a snippet or two now and then, and be back in full force in a few months.
