About This Item
Bloomington: Indiana University Press. Near Fine in Very Good+ dust jacket. 1955. Cloth. A Nearly Fine edition that has tanned pages in a Very Good+ dust-jacket that bears a tear to the upper rear and other general wear ; Edmond Cahns The Moral Decision: Right and Wrong in the Light of American Law is a book that discusses the morality of American law. Cahn argues that American law is based on the principle of utilitarianism, which holds that the best way to achieve a goal is to use the least amount of harm possible. Cahn argues that this principle can lead to wrong decisions, as it can be difficult to determine what is the least amount of harm. Cahn offers examples of cases in which American law has led to the execution of innocent people, the punishment of children for the crimes of their parents, and the denial of rights to groups of people based on their ethnicity or religion.; 8vo; 342 pages .
