Ethics for Disaster (Studies in Social, Political, and Legal Philosophy)

Description

Naomi Zack s Ethics for Disaster is a welcomed and needed examination of the ethical issues related to the impact of disasters on human life. In clear and lucid language she explores the need to rethink how we understand, address, plan for, and respond to disasters. This book should be required reading for anyone concerned with ethical and human dimensions of disaster planning and response."—Bill E. Lawson, University of Memphis

"This book tackles the hard questions about our collective responsibility to plan for and respond to disasters. Zack brings insights from contemporary moral and political philosophy to address the difficult question of who counts when disaster strikes. This book will introduce humanities scholars to the large literature in disaster studies, and it will introduce experts on disaster relief to some philosophical tools that are helpful for analyzing the moral dilemmas and political chaos that disasters create."—Laurie Shrage, Florida International University

"Naomi Zack's Ethics for Disaster is, in fact, about a lot more than the ethics of disasters-she also covers important parts of the political philosophy of disasters and their management. Her dedication to the situation of the disadvantaged in disasters and her meticulous analysis of it is admirable. Zack's focus is on disaster preparation, a subject sometimes overlooked in this discussion. The book is very accessible and includes insightful comments on lessons to be learned from literature and popular culture. This is highly commendable in a book whose subject matter will be of interest to many readers outside the academic community."—Per Sandin, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm

"This is a remarkable book. . . . Naomi Zack's writing blends rigor, clarity, and relevance. Ethics for Disaster can productively be used in public policy, homeland security, and emergency management classrooms across the country. I recommend this book to anyone concerned with what it means to do the right thing before, during, and after a disaster."—Christopher Bellavita, director of academic programs at the Center for Homeland Defense and Security
