Pollution and health
The Lancet Commission on pollution and health reported that pollution was responsible for 9 million premature deaths in 2015, making it the world's largest environmental risk factor for disease and premature death. We have now updated this estimate using data from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuriaes, and Risk Factors Study 2019. We find that pollution remains responsible for approximately 9 million deaths per year, corresponding to one in si…
A palaeoenvironmental record of the Southern Hemisphere last glacial maximum from the Mount Cass loess section, North Canterbury, Aotearoa/New Zealand
Calcareous loess in North Canterbury, eastern South Island, New Zealand (NZ), preserves subfossil bird bone, terrestrial gastropods, and eggshell, whose abundances and radiocarbon ages allowed us to reconstruct aspects of palaeoenvironment at high resolution through 25 to 21 cal ka BP. This interval includes millennial-scale climatic variability during the extended last glacial maximum (30–18 ka) of Australasia. Our loess palaeoclimatic record sh…
The Moral Target
This collection of Frances Kamm's articles illustrates both the interest and the difficulties of her moral philosophy. The subject matter is of perennial interest: the ethics of various kinds of conflict, including a number of modern-day challenges, such as the ethics of giving aid to Taliban-era Afghanistan, the amnesty of apartheid-era crimes in South Africa through the Truth and Justice Commission (TJC), and nuclear deterrence. Kamm's discussi…
Kommos
Kommos was lightly settled as early as the Late Neolithic/Early Minoan period, especially on the sloping side of the small southernmost hills known as Tou Spanou Ta Kephalia. Like most Minoan sites, Kommos was mainly an agricultural community, with its inhabitants sustained by farming and herding but also by the sea. In about 1020 bc, locals established a small temple upon the Minoan ruins. With this broad review in mind, this article turns to sp…
Double-Effect Reasoning
T.A. Cavanaugh devotes this book to an exploration and defence of what is usually called the ‘principle (or doctrine) of double effect’; he prefers to talk about ‘double effect reasoning’ (‘DER’). He proceeds systematically through chapters on the history of DER, the modern debate, the meaning and the moral significance of the distinction between what is intended and what is not intended but nevertheless foreseen, and the relation between DER and…

Intentions and Trolleys
The series of ‘trolley’ examples issue a challenge to moral principles based on intentions, since it seems that these give the wrong answers in two important cases: ‘Fat Man’, where they seem to say that it is permissible to push someone in front of a trolley to save others, and ‘Loop’, where they seem to say that it is wrong to divert a trolley towards a single person whose body will stop it and save others. I reply, first, that there is a paral…
The virtue of obedience
In this paper I give an account and defence of the thought and practice associated with the notion of obedience in religious ethics, especially in reply to the claim that obedience is necessarily unconscientious. First, I argue that it is conscientious to give weight to commands if they are identifiable as pieces of authoritative advice, or, as theists commonly believe, if they have intrinsic moral force. Second, I argue that a theist's strictly …
The application of divine commands
Divine commands are typically held, by theists, to be made not only at the foundations of morality, but also in an ‘everyday’ setting, when there are already moral considerations applicable to the addressee(s). My aim is to show how a particular command could relate to these pre-existing moral considerations, if it is more than just a repetition of them. If it is right that an action be obligatory, wrong or supererogatory, why would God want to c…
