Originally published in 1980 this book argues that we are all
responsible for the harm we could have prevented and explores the
effect of this conclusion on a morality which makes fundamental the
belief that we ought not to harm others if we can possibly avoid
it. A theory of responsibility is developed and defended which has
consequences for the way we live as well as for a number of
problems in contemporary moral, political and social philosophy,
and in jurisprudence. In particular, the author attacks the view
that there is a moral difference between killing and letting die
and proposes a radical conception of violence. Among other
controversial issues covered in the book are neutrality, the ethics
of organ transplants and the allocation of scarce resources.
