Ethics for Disaster addresses the moral aspects of hurricanes,
earthquakes, tornadoes, plane crashes, Avian Flu pandemics, and
other disasters. Naomi Zack explores how these catastrophes
illuminate the existing inequalities in society. By employing the
moral systems of utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics to
analyze the consequences of recent natural disasters, Zack reveals
the special plight of the poor, disabled, and infirm when tragedy
strikes. Zack explores the political foundations of social contract
theory and dignitarianism and invites readers to rethink the
distinction between risk in normal times and risk in disaster.
Using both real life and fictional examples, Zack forcefully argues
for the preservation of normal moral principles in times of
national crisis and emergency, stressing the moral obligation of
both individuals and government in preparing for and responding to
disaster..
