From the Back Cover:

Developing Deontology is a collection of six essays in ethical theory by some of the foremost moral philosophers of today. Within the collection, Michael Smith, Philip Stratton-Lake, Ralph Wedgwood, David Owens, Peter Vallentyne and Elizabeth Harman contribute new essays, which not only reflect on concepts that have been prominent in the development of deontological approaches but also offer an invaluable contribution to that development. These include agent-relativity, pluralism about the foundational principles of morality, double effect, consent, moral rights, and responsibility and blame for one's actions and moral beliefs. The contributions to this book expand the boundaries of thought relating to deontology. Together, they provide a major addition to the field of moral philosophy for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and academics.
