Summary |
"Harm is connected, in one way or another, with well-being. The things that harm us make our lives go worse or make us fare badly in some way. In this book, I construct, defend, and apply a certain account of the nature of harm. To the extent that we have an ordinary, practical concept of harm, my focus is on this concept"-- Provided by publisher |
