Bad Things Format: Hardback

Bad Things addresses various philosophical questions about the nature and moral relevance of harm. The most basic question is this: under what conditions does an event (or do some events) harm a given individual? Neil Feit focuses primarily on the metaphysics of harm, and he both defends and extends the counterfactual comparative account of harm.

Neil Feit is a SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor at the State University of New York at Fredonia, where he has been a member of the Department of Philosophy since 1999. In addition to Bad Things, he has published two books and over 20 articles in ethics, the philosophy of mind, epistemology, and other areas of philosophy. He has research interests in issues concerning the nature of harm in general, the harm of death in particular, and related issues in value theory.
