Why Suicide Is Amoral: A Philosophical Account by Robyn Gaier Hardcover Book

Description: Why Suicide Is Amoral by Robyn Gaier Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description If an agent lacks the ability to exercise deliberative agency or moral agency, or otherwise does not believe themselves to have a choice with respect to an action, then that action is amoral. Robyn Gaier argues that actions of suicide are amoral in at least these ways. Publisher Description Moral evaluations of actions are only appropriate for actions within the moral domain. Actions outside of the moral domain are amoral actions. In Why Suicide Is Amoral: A Philosophical Account, Robyn Gaier emphasizes the role of agency in determining whether an action is within the moral domain. If an agent lacks either deliberative agency or moral agency, then their action is amoral. An agent lacks deliberative agency if they cannot evaluate and act upon reasons, and moral agency if they cannot act upon moral reasons. Actions in which such agencies are compromised are also amoral actions. In treating actions of suicide, while granting their diversity, this book traces them to the loss or threat of loss of basic psychological needs. Gaier argues that when basic psychological needs are lost or under threat, an agents deliberative agency, moral agency, or both are either lacking or compromised. Hence, actions of suicide are amoral, and it is a conceptual mistake to attempt the moral evaluation of actions of suicide. Furthermore, when we regard actions of suicide as within the moral domain, we perpetuate a social stigma against suicide.
