Hearing a still-ticking bomb argument: A reply to Bufacchi and Arrigo
Journal of Applied Philosophy 26 (2):205-209 (2009)
Abstract
My aim in this paper is to demonstrate that the recent anti-Ticking Bomb argument offered by Bufacchi and Arrigo is unsuccessful. To adequately refute the Ticking Bomb strategy, I claim, requires carefully addressing both policy questions and questions involving exceptional conduct.Author's Profile
