An Essay on Double Effect“ Ezio di Nucci provides the first in-depth action theoretic analysis of the infamous Doctrine of Double Effect, without already presupposing a particular ethical theory.  He offers eight arguments against the doctrine, and convincingly shows that we cannot justify a particular immoral action by way of distinguishing between intended means and its merely foreseen side-effects.   His study is original, lucid, and analytically sharp.  His book is a must read for everyone interested in the moral relevance of intentions. * Monika Betzler, Chair for Practical Philosophy, University of Bern, Switzerland. *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface                       1.
