Would You Kill The Fat Man The Trolley Problem And What Your Answer Tells Us About Right And Wrong
Book • 2013
In this book, David Edmonds delves into the Trolley Problem, a famous philosophical thought experiment that raises questions about morality, utilitarianism, and the nature of right and wrong.
The book examines why people often have different moral intuitions when faced with similar scenarios, such as diverting a trolley to kill one person versus pushing a man off a bridge to save five lives.
Edmonds discusses the implications of these intuitions for ethical theories and our understanding of moral decision-making.
